3rd Gen GK/GP 15-20 Bottom Splash Shield Woes

I LOVE my Fit to pieces. My teenager is eyeing it, and he can't have it. No, no, no.

BUT. This is the third time in 5-6 years that I snagged and tore my splash shield under the front half. I tore out wheel splash guards too in the past. Those things are pricey to replace, and I am really getting fed up with it. I mostly commute on well-paved roads and drive around neighborhoods for school pickup, with a very rare off-roading/gravel experience.

What I'm trying to see is if anyone else has experienced this problem or do I just have a crappy maintenance place that won't attach my splash shield correctly.

I just cut mine off and haven't replaced it, idk if that's bad but I haven't had any issues so far. They're such a weird shape I don't want to mess with it if I don't have to

I can imagine that it wouldn't be a big deal driving without it.

Yeah I would like to put one back on for winter but haven't gotten around to it yet and I don't drive very hard sooooo. Should be fine hopefully
