    Colors aside they still look like mudflaps stuck sideways on your bumper cover to me. I'd take them back off.

    Yeah, good idea to try, but I don't think it worked out so great...

    Also, did you use spray paint to paint your bumper blue? That looks cool

    Trim off a little of the outer edge and corner so it conforms more to the body style. It's a good idea and I applaud you for trying it out. I think it has potential.

    Actually I believe they are to add downforce to the front of the car, but I don't think that mud flaps will hold up to well to 120mph speeds.

    That's right Hostile....& yes that's what they're really called too BTW! Hondaboy! They're used to give not only downforce but give it a formula race look too.
    Those mud flaps will be lucky to hold up the 60MPH let alone 120mph! :thumbdown

    hahaha ok ok ... shit, i understand... i will just use Vapoorise on it maybe it will make it better ... i got that off the movie Envy... movie sux by the way....

    actually , they do hold up pretty well... i went like 90 with them, and they were fine .. im just having some fun with the car ... im not trying to have a professional look anyway ... reason is that the car is not worth wasting money on .... 12 valves, carb, 4 speed ( 5th gear dont work anymore) enoof said
