Although I see the virtues of the flaps, I'll add that they look better on cars that aren't white.? Maybe it's me but I can't stop looking at the flap that wraps around the lip.? Although it's there on other colors, it doesn't seem as noticable as it is with white.

I'd probably get them if I had any other color...

It couldn't stop looking at it either when they 1st went on, but now I don't even notice it. Much less cleaning down low is a plus.

What I can't stop looking at is all of the spray behind the wheel of an otherwise immaculate car that doesn't have mud flaps.

[/quote]Never crud on my car behind the rears, and no mud flaps either. But, there are several very good and several very bad things about living in the desert. The first good one is that it doesn't rain, snow, sleet, or ice much. The first bad one is that it doesn't rain, snow, sleet, or ice much. Seriously, I just use "quick shine" behind my rears daily--takes 5 seconds on each side.

I think they look fine, but if you're worried about the look, I think they have clear plastic overlays that can fit over your rear bumper protecting it from debris.
