Mudflaps: Yes / No?
 
Can't ever make up my mind on anything.

I have factory optioned mudflaps. They're very functional, and I kinda like the way they look...

But I like the way the car looks without them too.

Also keen to the body colored mudflaps...

Opinions..

You don't need them. IMO it's cleaner without them. I think all the damn badges on the back are dumb too. Makes the car too busy IMO. Take'em off.

I kinda wish i had a set, my paint is beginning to chip where the splash guard would be protecting, dam falkens :ugh:

cjernigan 04-08-2008 01:25 AM

I think they look good, and they're functional. Keep them.

jayc72 04-08-2008 01:54 AM

Keep the mudflaps and loose the wagon wheels. :)

Kuhmo Ecsta AST 205/40R17 cost me $32.00 a tire brand new, shipped to my dealership. Same size tire in a 15 costs $56.00. Thanks, but no thanks.


So nobody votes paint the flaps body color?

cjernigan 04-08-2008 02:16 AM

Some people do, mine are body color from the factory. I don't have front flaps though either.

samnavy 04-08-2008 09:27 AM

Mudflaps on Miatas are 50/50... some hate and some love... no middle ground. I might take mine off for a few weeks and see how I like it now that you mention it.

mazda/nissan 04-08-2008 09:29 AM

i like the look without them, but if you keep the mudflaps on your car is only 1 ft. off of the ground instead of 2 :bigtu:

Oscar 04-08-2008 09:34 AM

I have just the rear flaps and I like them :)

Zabac 04-08-2008 09:38 AM

I like flaps on a stock car, mine actually had them, no idea where they went, i think the ninjas stole them out of my parts room. Anyways, do not paint them, there are two different kinds of flaps, paintable and non, unless they were painted from factory, yours are not meant to be painted and will soon crack and peel, no matter what primer or method you use. Leave them stock as they are, your fenders will thank you.


btw, you said 'my dealership', are you a DP?

harleybutter 04-08-2008 09:42 AM

I like having the mud flaps. Almost looks like the car is missing something without them.
I prefer them unpainted since they hang down in the rocker area, that is black anyway.

urgaynknowit 04-08-2008 09:51 AM

i want them! some one give me a set, wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

no seriously, pm me, i want a set,

Zabac 04-08-2008 09:56 AM

furian777 04-08-2008 10:03 AM

I've got mine on the rear and painted, I did have them off for a while but there was too much spray...I like them

GTS Miata 04-08-2008 01:17 PM

Keep them!

I added my flaps after I painted the car. I was tired of the azenis throwing rocks up at the car.

driftbandito 04-08-2008 01:22 PM

I have rear mudflaps on mine and i like the way they look, but i have the shortys not the mudflaps that go up onto the quarter panel

Doppelgänger 04-08-2008 01:34 PM

mudflaps on a NA = not feelin it.
small rear mudflaps on a NB = no bad if the car has side skirts.

I say take them off and clean the car up :)

masblue 04-08-2008 06:09 PM

I like how they look, im actually looking for a set if anyone is selling a set PM me tnxs

elesjuan 04-08-2008 06:17 PM

Been thinking it over and I've decided to just leave them like they are.

It occurred to me earlier since I'm auto-xing the car now with R-Comps, they're gonna kick up anything from the parking lot and might hit my paint.. While its not the best, thats the last thing it needs.

Thanks for the advice peeps!

Scuba_Steve 04-08-2008 07:00 PM

I'm a believer. I think they are functional and I like the way they look.

miatamania 04-08-2008 08:10 PM

sell fronts, keep rears.

miataz 04-08-2008 11:10 PM

You really cant even tell from far away, i say keep them but dont paint them red keep um black.

hustler 04-09-2008 08:46 AM
