Why Mitsu gave us Rear Corner Air Dams
To Collect all the crap we drive over!

The pictures speak for themselves. I was installing my RA mud Flaps and this is what I found on the inside of the rear fender liner.

I literally had to pull the clips out since they were jammed with all the dirt. I'm glad I did not need to reuse them.

absolutely none. I think it was all from driving in the rain. And NJ roads ain't the best.

I do live in the snowbelt, I bet that's how most of it got there in the first place.

you can drill holes in the bottom so that when it gets filled up with mud, the rain/water can effectively wash it and drain it off.
