Rep Power: 0 I have my rims on and I still have the flap... I don't care cause my car looks funny as it is without it being lowered...
like I said, once I lower the car, flaps come off.. but until then..

Rep Power: 0 it's always a personal opinion... you can never satisfy everyone. as for now, for me my car is an SUV so the mudflaps don't make it look funny, it already does... [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 I had them on my '90 accord and it was lowered. I scraped them every, and I mean E V E R Y speed bump... kinda ANNOYING and it freaks me out..
that's why this time, I'm removing them... plus, it makes the car look funny when you scrape.
** picture this...
bling-blingin' ride comes along, goes over a speed bump and all you hear.... SCRRRRAAAAPPPPE!!
then people turn and look and say... "that sucks, the car WAS nice too.." the main word here is.." WAS"!!!
IMO!!

Rep Power: 0 Still, it's not as funny (sad) as seeing a dropped car with a kit (especially fibre glass) and *CRACK* paint and/or skirts destroyed on a speed bump!

another thing about those mudflaps that I don't think everyone's thought about is the fact that it is a great place for water to settle in and not get wiped off after a car wash or something... and then after that, you got
RUST who's next in line... that's when I go

Rep Power: 0 You should see when guys are at shows and the only thing available for them to park in are multilevel garages. They go up the ramps okay but when they go down, they've got to do it in reverse (backwards) or they pile drive their front lip/bumper into the pavement!

Rep Power: 0 It's been like that for decades, they give ya the fronts but the rears are ALWAYS options.
Even funnier: Guys who put Rally style flaps on their civics! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
