I may have created a thread on this earlier, but... thinking of doing Mud Flaps all around.. OEM...? I have Jet Black, so they would blend nicely.

I am seriously considering to have them installed. They are practical and won't
intrude at all with my car's colour.
..............
Only thing worried about is the scraping issue when going over speed bumps.
In Holland they are not broad and flat but kind of high and narrow in width.
Has anyone had any issues regarding this ( especially in Europe )....?
TIA

I just inquired about mudflaps for my incoming 525. I was quoted $250 installed. Does this sound right?

[/quote]you may have paid nearly $40 for EACH front and back, there is no way you paid $30-$40 for both sets... as for installation, that can be acceptable if he wasn't a dealer!
