Rep Power: 280 removing mud guards
hey guys, i'm thinking about removing my mud guards, since i keep scraping them on speed bumps. I noticed on the wheel well, that there are plastic parts that cover up some holes that hold the plastic part to the body.
if i take off my mud guards, should i just put the screws that held the mud guard back into the holes that are there? or should i get some of those plastic plugs to put on them?
thanks in advance.

Rep Power: 280 yeah, i was just looking at it, and it looks like it scratched up the paint really bad in some areas...hopefully my touch-up paint will make it less noticeable...or i can just get a lip kit...

Rep Power: 0 take em off
I took mine off too. They even chipped a tiny bit of paint off! I think the civic (at least my coupe) looks better and more sleek with no mud guards. And, several people have told me they can damage your car bad if they scrape on speed bumps, especially if your care is lowered or slammed there is no way you can have them..I know a guy here that has a slammed vic and his mud guard ripped of going over R.R. tracks and damaged the wheel well!
