Question re. having no mudflaps......
#1
I took my rear mudflaps off today because I think the car looks better without them.... I notice that a few of you have taken off your front and rear ones(without body kit) Should I expect alot of rockchips in my paint or is it not that bad?
Thanks...

mud flaps
I agree the car looks better without them. I haven't noticed much chipping of the paint, although having the wider tires does tend to pick up more stuff off the road, especially the front tires. I also have 235/45's and it really ticks me off cause I can hear the debris hitting the side of the car. I recently bought a nose mask and am considering putting the mud flaps on for the winter months.

Tar and paint sucks to get off and cannot be good for paint.
Maybe if you primed them and painted to match they would look better. Be sure to get a nose mask, because the chips
will happen on the hood without one. Whats nice is the bra comes in two pieces so you can just put on the hood piece if you want

My car hasn't ever had mudflaps, and after 120k the lower sills look like they've been sandblasted. It definitely has gotten worse with the wider tires, too. At this point, it really doesn't matter anymore. Maybe someday she'll get a complete repaint.

The only time I wish I had them are some trackdays (when we run at the fairgrounds or something) when there are little rocks and sand everywhere.
In which case, I make some temps with blue painters tape.
