A dealer has the car I want but it has the splash guards already installed. Not a fan + don't want to pay extra. If they remove them for me will that cause any damage or require a touchup even if I don't notice?
The install itself won't scratch anything, but the way they are designed is that the plastic edges lie against the paint. It won't take long for grit to get between the paint and plastic parts and scuff the paint. You can just do it yourself, the screws and clips can be re-used. There is one extra hole made to install them, you can just put that screw back.
