Been thinking about fitting mud flaps and I can't decide if I like it with or without them ?

For me, it improves the look of the car on the road, the side steps certainly ease access for driver and passengers (and reduce seat slide wear) and provide a bit of on road side protection. Mudflaps reduce the throw of muck and water up onto the underbody of the car.

If you do or are planning to do any off roading, mudflaps and side steps do seriously reduce your angles of entry and departure. .

Rear mudflaps direct a higher amount of crap onto the rear screen, at least mine seem to.

I have never had a car that gets so dirty so quickly. I have mudflaps and side steps on.

They definately do something to the air flow, as the rear is always dirty.

I didn't like the factory side steps when I was looking for a car, but having ended up with one with them on, they don't half stop the edge of the seat and plastic trim getting a hammering when you get in and out......

Sorry, don't like either, but then I don't go off roading. They just look like all the other 4x4 accessories like bull bars, never used winches and empty roofracks.

I like the look of mudflaps and the sidesteps are very useful. My seats are perfect and I put that down in part to the fact I have sidesteps and you don't have to slide out. Previously..
