3G TL body kit question?
Does the 3G TL A-Spec body kit protect the side of the car from dirt and rocks kicked up by the tires as much as the mudflaps do? So those of you that installed the kit, is the car dirtier with the kit installed and the mudflaps gone?? Your thoughts on this?? Thanks.

That would be negative!! The side skirts are not designed to protect the side of the car, and the A-spec ones do not come out much more then the base ones.

I've never seen anyone use both the MF & Aspec skirts mainly because you would need to seriously cut/modify the flaps to fit over the new skirts.

Overall, the look of the A-Spec body kit outweighs the small amount of dirt that can be easily cleaned off.
P.S. It will require a lot of modification to get the mudflaps to attach with the A-Spec body kit. Its either or; you can't have both.

I live in the Northeast and we get lots of snow. The road crews throw down chemicals to melt the snow so your car is covered in this white chemical residue. So you need to wash it off but when the temperatures are in the 10 degree range for days it is hard to wash the car. So my mudflaps perform a needed function probably more than most. So I just want to make sure the body kit can fill in for the mudflaps.

Oooops guess I misinterpreted you, but I don't think the sidekirts do the same job as the mudflaps... I to get those snow days where salt mixture with some other stuff is thrown down and makes the cars look like a nuclear fallout...
But um I think when I do decide to add the A-Spec kit I am going to cut the mudflaps to fit with the sideskirts... No matter how difficult it is
