what the? do you guys think i should remove these?
 

yes!

if they have been on the car for a long time ... i would say no, becuz it may have scratched the paint underneath, and i would think u would want to cover those up, but it looks like an 06 so maybe not too much scratching, and everything can be polished out

Paint them WDP.

If you put on A-Spec skirts, you'll have to take them off.

I'd go with paint them.

I know on my DD my wheels stick out even with the fender, and driving in rain gets crap ALL over the side of the car. Especially for winter, I don't want to look at salt all over the side of my car just after washing it.

Looks like you are in a area where you don't need to stop rocks or slush and snow/salt from flying up the sides? remove if paint underneath is in good condition.

My opinion is to leave them on, as they are there for a purpose.

Paint them WDP or take em off!

Utah?....Paint them WDP. :thumbsup:

Yeah Utah has snow and stuff so I would leave them and paint them WDP

If you were in SoCal I would say remove them cause we don't really need them here.

Paint them

Paint or take them off.

so i took em off and theres an outline of harden dirt where it used to be. i scrubbed the heck out of em and they still wont come off. how do i remove the dirt?

Touch up paint possibly, but make sure it is the exact color code. If you aren't gunna get aspec then paint em wdp and put them back on.

Well, it's unanimous.

try a spray for tar. i forgot what it's called but i know it's a red spray bottle. works for me!

what about brake cleaner? i know its good for taking off oil and grease stains but what about tough dirt spots?

As has already been said a few times, paint them or take them off.

brake cleaner on your paint?..............bad idea

Uhhhh, No.

Bug and Tar remover might work. A light/medium polish might work.

Mineral Spirits. Available at WalMart in the home paint department.

Completely off

Scratch-X might work. It's a very light version of rubbing compound. Just tread lightly.

Paint it. If you don't want to go through the hassle of painting it, remove it.

Tint your headlights and tails to match'em..........:tomato:

Apologize for this RoN ....

I'm in Utah too... with all the salt and rocks on the road I'd never take mine off. I'd paint them WDP and put them back on.

leave em and get em painted. wish i had some

lol where do i get wdp paint? should i just get normal white errr

You only really need your mudflaps during the winter IMO.

Take them off though.

With them removed the car looks better even if they are painted. :2cents:

If you want to paint them WDP then bring them to a body shop.

yep^

have a local paint shop shoot em out for ya.

daang how much would that be?

and what does the salt do to ti?

It would probably cost you ~$75.

Huh?

Same thing it does to the rest of your paint.

:shrug:

Danggg 75$?? lol

That is cheap for paint.

Just go find a body shop, make friends with the owner, and then he will give cheap ass prices when you return to do more body work.

It worked for me. :shrug:
