i only took off the fronts. It doesn't really seem like it's important enough that you'd need ppl's opinions...just look at ppl's rides, wit ppl who hav'em and dont, and pick what ya like.

yeah, so we should have mudflaps to help keep the tar and road spray(all flung up from the tires) off the body. i think they are useful, but i also prefer function over form.

Leave them on or trim them. Air caught up in the rear bumper sucks.

Take for instance the Civic VX. Came with a standard rear diffuser that kept the air out of the rear bumper for better "gas milage." However, it's proven that with the OE rear diffuser it nets a drop in 3tenths (.3) off your quarter mile time on an average EG. Not bad for "just a diffuser."
