Question Mud Flaps

Mud flaps, too "ricey"? Looking at the Prodrive ones for more functions over form. I'm moving to a part of Maui that pretty much rains pretty much everyday and was wondering if the flaps would be too "buk buk" (even though I am 1).

Thanks for the input.

Anything Prodrive makes is awesome...

The mudflaps are no exception...pricey though...you will get what you pay for...they have two sets of holes for stock height and dropped...to keep the flaps parallel to the ground...

Not ricey at all if you need them install them. I would see them on cars all the time in the NW...

Have you ever watched any Rallies? Almost all the cars have them..I seen some on Subies when I lived in Tacoma during the winter they use gravel on the roads instead of salt and the mud flaps keep the amount of crap that is kicked up down. I think he might want them to keep the amount or dirt he kicks up on his car down..You could also throw a set on if your racing and have really sticky tires yea it would look dumb but the guy behind you will be happy ...

i dont really like mud flaps cuz it seems to stick out too much, but i guess it has to in order to do its job correctly..
