Mud Flaps good/bad?
Just wondering for all of those in areas that get a real winter (snow,sleet,slush). Are mud flaps useful? When it snows and it all gets stuck in the wheel well would not having any mud flaps help. I took mine off (they were after market and I did't like the way they looked anyway) but I don't really notice a difference. Just wanted to get others 2 cents on this.

Mud flaps may ruin the clean lines of a car, but they definitely have their uses. Obviously keeping the salt and grime off your paint is a plus, but in Brooklyn we have bad roads. This means that either I get chunks and debris hitting my paint. I also drove across a place where construction was going on, and when I parked I noticed white cement goo sprayed all over behind the wheels...but if you live in the suburbs or any normal area you don't need mudflaps. That's just my opinion. Maybe now I'll go and buy mudflaps lol.

Mud flaps FTL...
First off, they make the car look wrong
Secondly, If you sell your used OEM ones on eBay you can make 50-80 bucks to spend on better mods
Third, They trap grime/road debris under them where they contact the paint, this makes your paint degraded under the mudflaps and looks horrible if you have them on for too long of a time.
Fourth, they're not necessary if you wash your car enough
Fifth, they scrape the ground when you go over bumps, steep angles when you're lowered
