It's your car, do what you like. But if your asking for opinions, I think it would look odd with just the front guards and no rear guards. And there is some practical use for them if your running wider tires.....and even if your not.

Personally i would go with some OEM skirts/apexi skirts and leave the rear mud guards.

The no mud guard look looks weird IMO.

I left both front and rear of mine, it makes the car look better.

I think you need some oem side skirts! Front mud guards will do wonders to balance out your lines.

yes, add them, I think they look really good, especially on an already great looking FD like yours.

for everyone that has installed rear mud guards, I am in the process of installing mine, but there are three clips per the instruction that you need to press in the car. In order to do so, you will have to remove the inserts that's already in there (they plug the hole). Two inserts on the bottom of the rear fender were easily removed (they were rubber), but the third one that's on the front facing side of the rear fender seems like the shape of a press pin and it's so hard to pry out. I tried to use a screw driver but it's on really tight. anyone has any tips?

thanks,
