mudflaps belong on cars that go in the mud.

Whatever.

My paint appreciates my concern for it. If you don't like it, so noted.

$20 mudflaps VS. $200-300 to have the back quarter panels repainted from stones chipping the paint. mudflaps do not look bad

There actually GM-made mudflaps. I have a pair, that i will probably never use (too bad they say camaro). I got mine from a local dealer. They had them sitting around for about 10 years and gave em to me for $10. I'd check with a few dealers to see if they have them, and then check on ebay.

Do you have a pic of them and would you be interested in selling them?

I grabbed some and you might want to right away. Pretty good price for a hard to find original item.

Those mudflaps listed above are far from original. During the 80's, mudflaps from the dealer were flat like the one's in the picture. To be period correct, those would be the ones to get. They just happen to be the ones on my car.
