Mud Flaps - YES OR NO?

I'm thinking about removing the mud flaps on my gts. If I don't take them off they will have to be painted :( What do you think?

If you take them off your car is gonna get dirty faster, and get hit with more $h!t. But if you are ever gonna get a body kit or something there is no point in painting the flaps, since you will end up removing them anyways. Maybe just do a cheap black paint or get rid of em.

My main problem will be finding the paint because the car got painted a hot red just before I bought it. I'm going to check out a few stores, if no paint, they're getting tossed! Thanks for the reply man.

mail em to me, ill give ya $5. im curious about the look anyway, but not curious enuf to pay a whole lot

edit--my bad you got an 86, i didnt see that. anyone got some pics of a black 5th gen w/ flaps?

lose the flaps...car looks killer w/o em'.

My mechanic's working on the engine right now, but I will post pics of the car without em as soon as I get the hotrod back. thanks again for postin

updated???

I decided not to remove them afterall. It received a paint job before I bought it and unfortunately they didn'rt get underneath the flaps.

well thats a bit stoopid to not paint under the flaps...what kinda half ass paint job is that

i know...at least the paint job looks good ;)
