when you lower your ride, get rid of the mud guards... they scrape on everything! not really but they have scared me a few times recently. i checked the bottoms of the mud guards and they were scuffed pretty good.

hope this helps someone somewhere

 

How low did you drop it?

 

no reason to get rid of em altogether really...

mine are also roughed up a bit too. better than having even more tar on your doors and bumper.

 

I'm pretty low and haven't scraped. I like em up front...saves the sides of the car from rocks.

 

I put my mud guards on after I lowered my car. Only scraped a handful of times.

 

im slamed, and when i held up the front mud guard to my car (where it would sit) it was about 2in away from the ground.

 

I use mine as a feeler. If they scrape real bad, I back up and take a different route.

 

I took mine off.

 

i actually want some

 

Sent PM.

 

someone is selling a set in the BM

 

i have mine for sale, but waiting on money from a guy.

 

What kind of sucks is that you probably are getting ready for work...and us here on the West Coast are still up.

 

im leaving for work now. do what needs to be done to support my life style

 

What line of work...if you don't mind?

 

I want some mud flaps again. I should have never sold mine....

 

I like the way the mudguards look. But I do scrape 'em more often than I like.

 

I like your idea.. thats what makes me want mine back

 

medium duty, heavy duty, and rail road truck mechanic. ans some custom installs

 

o well it's just owners preference i suppose, i drive a lot of messed up roads and some friends live in apts. with speed walls not speed bumps. they scared the hell out of me when i thought i bottomed out on a hospital speed bump....ouch

 

Nice. No wonder you know how to do all this shit on your cars.

 

take them off! they ruin your paint! i wish i would of known earlier but the damage is done i'll take them off when i get the car repainted

 

this is true too. when i removed mine i have one or 2 minor scuffs

 

i'll take pics of mine, its all the way to the metal

 

wow

 

i put the flaps on my tls. the next summer, i had scuffs on all four corners on the car. it sucks now. so when i saw the cls had them, thats the first thing i took off. some miner scuffs but my car will be getting detailed this fri so they will be gone.

 

Damn. I clean behind them everytime I wash the car. My next car that has flaps on it will get the 3M clear bra behind it (including the whole front end) to protect it.

 

Yeah I have a pretty solid line from where the mud flaps were...

Tried to remove it with my buffer...nada.

Gotta go back with a more abrasive compound & polish.

 

My new rims stick out a 1/2 inch past my mudguards so my car gets dirty now anyway.
