easy for you to say, you live in TN!!!!
anyway, I have heard this arguement for a while. I have mudflaps on my 2003 P5 on the front wheels and on all 4 wheels on my "real" car a 1990 5.0L Mustang LX. I think they make the car look aggresive and sportier. People give me s*** sometimes but everyday after driving somewhere there is a TON of sand stuck to the insides of the flaps on the P5 which only justifies them being on there. Altough I could get away with out them over the summer I intend on leaving them on there year round.
BTW - I got mine from Pep Boys - they are size 1 and I had to cut them to fit. but look and work well
