I have to admit my X is getting its *** kicked running 9.5 et20 with 265's. I really should put some mudflaps on. I don't really like the look though....

Had rallyarmor flaps on my 8. Can't believe how dirty the sides of my x get without them and that's not even counting all the rocks I hear bouncing off the doors. I just need to buy some already and quit putting it off.

First thing I did with my car was install the Rally armor mud flaps. Worth every penny in my opinion. Keeps the car cleaner and gives it a better look as well.

I really don't like the look of having mud flaps on the car but my rear doors are getting beat to hell from all the road debris. So it's probably a good idea.

Mud flaps are only for Evos that are about to go tracking, rallying or off roading.

Spend the money on clear bra if you are that paranoid about chips. It pays for itself every time you simply wipe off a few scuffs. My 6 year old M3 had clear bra and ZERO rock chips in the clear bra protected areas.

I have a clear bra and RA mud flaps. I think it looks great from the rear. As well I have no rock chips and I drive the car all year round.

I have the Black RA mudflaps with blue writing on my X SE. Looks good, only on the front wheels right now but they work great, no chips from cinders or rocks so far this winter

This is the only reason I would understand mudflaps on a DD. IMO I don't like the look of mudflaps on a DD car.

I was in the same situation and now I'm buying the Aero Sides to protect the paint just because I hate mudflaps.
