I was driving down the steep hill in my driveway when I started to slide on the ice that had built up. I slid into a bank and was able to back out again just fine. However, the splash guard under the car near the front bumber is all torn up. I looked on Majest Honda and they aren't expensive, but I was curious, how difficult are they to remove and install? I'm willing to bet it's relatively easy, but i'd like to know before I order the thing. Thanks.

its easy, just a few bolts. A couple of them are behind the wheels and hard to get at, just use some extensions andyoull be fine.

Not a good idea as water splashes everywhere(including the alternator) and if you hit a something like a curb you run the risk of damaging the radiator and oil pan.

the lower crossmember would take the beating. i would of put it back but it was all scratched up and it sucked taking it out and putting it back on when working on the car

Yeah, I live on a gravel street and in the winter time or when it rains there's always muck flying everywhere. The splash guard is practically a necessity here.

i just dont like the idea of water cooling a hot block. I know it can take it, but i just dont like taking chances.
