I took mine off too but now I want to put em back and I cant find em. Keep em at least because looks like its making a coming back. For some reason, I find cars with mudguards looks tiiiight. Especially if you want the "all stock" look. but i guess depends on what mods you have on your car. I have to admit, its not for everyone.

Off I think they are ugly as heck. Only reason to leave them on is if you take them off and your paint is really crappy under it. Looks alot cleaner with out them though. IMO

i took mine off because I am about to paint the car, but it also looks like if I lower the car more than 2" the mudflaps will scrape on the ground. Im putting H&R race springs on which will lower the front about 2"...anyone scrapin' mudflaps out there?

i left mine on. i just thought it looks better. yeah mine scraps. but it can only scrap so much. and its not that bad when it scratches the ground. it only happens when you go up driveways.

Helps a bit when keeping your car clean, but looks better IMO off.

i really like the way the look. and if they scrape, they just wear down till they don't scrape anymore! they are only rubber.

My STD only had the 2 front ones, which I removed.

The paint underneath was suprisingly decent, but it'll be painted soon, so no worries.

I got mudflaps. keeps the tyre pieces from smacking the guy behind me.


with


without

I personally think it looks better with mudflaps. Problem is, they do scrape and tend to bend the paint off them. i'm gonna just paint the bottom half of my CRX black or something.

I had Intrax springs, which sagged, and I took the ones off mine because they would scrape. Haven't tried it with the new springs though.
