What did you paint them with? Are you worried about the paint cracking/flaking if the the splash guard flexes?

By the by, they look good!!! Are they factory?

I bought stock color duplicolor brand paint (2 cans). I sprayed bondaid on the splash guards first and then the paint and then clear coat. I am not worried that they will crack. If they do, I can just repaint them if I feel like it.

Beautiful, nice job! Taking the time to do it right will hopefully make them last a long time.

That looks so great! Looks more a part of the car than the stock guards.
Ok - Honda - give us a crum - build them and we will come!

Very nice... they look great body-colored. A base model with alloys would be a very Euro look: clean lines and understated. Nice job.

IMO you're better without them. Mudguards trap tons of dirt and rub the shit out of the paint. Take the mudguards off any car that has had them on for a few seasons and you'll see the damage. Personally I'd rather have a little mud splashed up on the side of the car itself... then you can at least simply hose and wash it off...

Yeah, mudguards do trap a lot of dirt due to their design. It's actually not there just so your own car doesnt get dirty. It helps visibility for the people driving behind you. Imagine a semi truck with no mud guards.

Damn, your car looks so good on those BBS's. Looks lower than the last time I saw it?
Love the "masked" front end.
