Mudflaps are for rally cars. Is your car a rally car?

Since your telling us what to do with YOUR car then heres a list:

Paint it pinkCrash it into a wallPart it out

Dude seriously, if you want mudflaps keep them, if you don't then take them off. Its not very hard man, IMO take them off, they're only good for looking like s*** and making rust.

FIRST OFF, anyone in here calling them "mud flaps" are f***ing idiots.

theyre splash guards. you dont go off-roading or "muddin" with a 240. theyre to keep SPLASHES of water and other s*** from going all over the side of your car.

Splash Guards.

i vote keep them on, especially if lowering.

mines an s13, the point is still the same.

Water on the road that splashes mixes with dirt and makes mud.

I linked ya to this solely because of our past convos on what they're called. <3

Take um off. The rocks, mud, grime flying off the tires is great for paint.

Splash guards dominate face. Anyone saying they suck is just jealous because their car didn't come with them. True story.

Mudflaps tend to take away from the car. I say no unless then have a silhouette out a naked woman.

I was sad cuz mud flaps wouldn't fit after I install side skirts, so I made a set for myself. Definitely, keep the mud flaps. They look good on most cars.

Not sure if this applies to s14's but does anyone know why the rear left splash guard is a different size from the rear right splash guard on an s13? When I bought these I got a weird feeling as if I was getting a mismatched pair and ripped off...but bought them anyway.

Stupid question. I know.

yeah, dumb question.

theyre all different im pretty sure. just put them on.

and this just clicked to me, the dirt and stuff mixing with water on the road does make "mud"....but they dont FLAP.

more aimed towards splashing stuff, and they guard. splash guards rule.

I personally love the splash gaurds. Expecially if the car is slammed!I would put my rear ones on but I don't have the hardware. I got mine free from some guy so that makes them soooo much better lol.

Also tramp_drift240 what kind of camera do you have?
