Default splash guards: yah or nah?

ok so i just put these on about 2 hours ago and im kinda iffy about how it looks. i decided to install these because i was tired of cleanin my car and goin threw a puddin or dirt and it gettin my car all dirty >! so bought stock splash guards and cut them to fit my side skirt (cause i dont have OEM ones, and i dont plan on gettin OEM ones!). so anyways im kinda on the wall about how they look and wanted to get some opinions

p.s: dont comment if you going to say something about my rims, i know half the people on HT dont like them just cause they are 17" rims, but i love them and love the way they look

The mudflaps take away from your bling bling... and I'm being completely honest.

I'll say yah but those looks small making me want to say nah. Maybe if you got the oem ones instead.

1. I am normally a huge mudflap fan. Both of my cars have four flaps and that's the way it's gotta be for me.
2. I'm not really into your car's styling.

With that said, I think the flaps degrade your look a little. Keep it flapless IMO. But if you do decide to keep 'em on, at least put the rears on too.

looks very out of place unless it were paint matched to blend in

IMO flap-less

I'm a fan of mudflaps, but I'm not a fan of your car. In this case it actually looks better without them.

If you had oem bumpers and what not, oem mudflaps would look great. Maybe if your moldings were not painted...
