zimmy77 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 I'm seriously considering removing my mudflaps to give my car a cleaner look. I live in minnnesota and we do get some crappy weather, but do those of you who have no mudflaps get much for damage to your paint job from fling up? should I just paint all of my trim and my mudflaps to match my car? or is that just plain retarded? Thanks guys!
Patrick. Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 leave 'em. my paint gets fukked up enough with them on
grocerygetter Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 They are unique, I do not know a lot of 850's that have both the front and rear sets. If you do get rid of them I will buy the rear set off of you.
Patrick. Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 if you do get rid of any of them, only ditch the rears, they don't do half as much as the fronts
the underlørd Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 1. don't take the fronts off, you'll regret it if you do2. flaps on all 4 are hot.
zimmy77 Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Posted July 7, 2005 2. flaps on all 4 are hot.←<snicker> you said flaps, hot, and all 4s in the same sentence... it's almost pornographic :lol:
Zappo Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 I put rears flaps on my car a few weeks ago. painted them the black color I want to paint my trim.
larryo108 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 Took all 4 of mine off and haven't noticed any huge problems. Of course my paint looked like SH*T to begin with.

larryo108 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 Like I said, my paint was monkeyed up by the previous owner, so I didn't really hurt anything. The bottom of the rocker panels may be a little f**ked up, but the sides still look good. You'll never see closeup shots of my car though, because I am embarassed by the paint. The hood is atrocious (sp?).

larryo108 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 I did have it profesionally detailed and now do the 3-step myself. The car looks great from afar, but when you get close you can see the chips, deep scratches and dings. Previous owner was a douchebag. I think the car was in an accident that was never reported. I pulled the side badges off and widened the holes to put in my sidemarkers (Hella LEDs) and thought I had some stubborn adhesive. Turns out the previous owner superglued (or something like it) the badge back on. The detailer couldn't even get rid of it.
