Re: Iroc splashguards

Sure, leave em in the box.

In all seriousness, I just got done taking them off my Iroc not too long ago. I've had to remove them from several thirdgens over the years, and they all look better without them. The only cars that really need them are the cars without GFX since the style line at the bottom of the doors and fenders gives flying rocks a place to chip the paint. Otherwise the mud flaps do more damage than debris will. They've had clips that were suppose to retain them without drilling, but they still mess up the paint and give rust a place to start. There's pretty much no way to put them on a car without causing damage, like a bra they defeat the purpose.
