Fitment is crap. I already tried that one. Good luck, only enough room to mount 1 screw without it looking like ****.

Ugh. First thing I did to my car when I brought it home was rip off all four mudflaps. Ugliest things ever.

I had some simple flat ones I got at Pontiac (around 1994). But my car was black and they blended in (the front ones were too low, I should have remounted them). I hated rock chips.

oh snap, yea that makes sense. i don't drive through too many areas with a lot of gravel so i did even think of that. i don't think it compromises the body too much when considering the damage gravel can do to paint, so if that is a high concern, just get the flaps.

I'd rather have a few rock chips to prove that my car is a driver than ugly mudflaps.

keep a lot of wax on your quarter panels I can actually start to feel now a slight difference in paint towards the bottom of my quarter panels from the 275 tires. I'd rather respray that portion of the quarter panel and do a blend rather than put on mudflaps, but that's just me.

I had flaps on my 3rd gen, I had put 265 50 15s on the back, and I had a lot more mud and dirt on the back, plus rubber. How about this?? Does what you like man.
