Mud Flaps: Yea or Nea?

Ordering new xA tomorrow.

Any thoughts on the mud flaps? Already decided not to get the floor mats from what I've read on this site.....so your input is invaluable and put to use!

You may not be able to get mudflaps for the 2006 xA... I ordered mine with mudflaps, and they had to refund my money for those because they couldn't get any in... and the 04-05 flaps don't fit.

I had mudflaps on my previous ride. It's not like the big rig type where it is flexible. Most car flaps are stiff. During snow driving, snow and ice would actually accumulate itself to the wheel wells because of the "mud" flaps. Thus causing less traction and more wheelspin.

I took the mud flaps off of my Honda Civic because I didn't care for the look or utility of them. Since they were an option when I got my xA, I just saved my money and skipped them altogether.

I think they kind of accent the look of the xA. My xA came with the front mud guards only. I recently installed them on the rear. For some reason, most don't come with the rear.

But i'm also going for the OEM JDM look on my xA. So I guess it's more of a preference thing.

ive had some stainless steel ones on my BSP xB for quite a while right now - dumb that the screws included werent stainless though...

sweet look - adjustable by bending - but never flexible enough (i have air ride) so now they look like smashed acordians....

so now im getting rubber ones soon enough

anyone that saw them loved the look of stainless w/whitewalls

go mudflaps!! aftermarket is like 8$ a pair at autozone
