Default Re: Splash guards / Mud Flaps...

OK guys and gals. Yep, mud flaps are right out of the 60's and later, but they do serve a purpose. How many new cars have them? Lots! But they are molded versions that look like they belong on the cars. Lacking that option, I did just install simple, inconspicuous flaps on my 2004 Coupe (just bought the car two weeks ago and am in loooooooove!). No hole drilling on my new baby --- I used the 3M double stick tape. Just enough surface area down the fender lips to get good cohesion. Daily driving on the freeways in SoCal have not shaken them loose --- haven't been through a car wash, though. The flaps I bought were the inexpensive ones from Pep Boys -- smaller ones for the front ($7.99) and larger ones for the back ($11.99). So for a total of $20.00 (plus tax), I have protection that really doesn't look too badd --- looks pretty good, considering. Photos attached, if I attached them properly.
