Why mudflaps?
 
Why do people like putting mudflaps on their BRZs or frs... Its not a rally car and its not like they would actually want to take it in mud.

Why do people do any of the dumb stuff they do to these cars?

They help to keep the salt off of your car in the winter.

Perhaps the site could have a whole sub-forum called "I'm ignorant and want everyone to know about it".

Here's another recent pearler to kick things off:

The factory FRS ones are trim, stylish, and keep the fenders and doors clean. Oh yeah, they're cheap also.

I drive my car on crappy, muddy roads daily and I'd like to keep the paint in tact as possible

I guess its not my style... for now...



Just saw 1 today and thought it looked kind of silly... his flaps might have been tad too long. They flew like a skirt at speeds. Snow makes sense...

Salt, snow, rocks, some people actually use it as a rally car, and appearance.

Because I prefer them. Kind of like how I prefer no tomatoes on my sandwiches, or how I prefer to keep my grass super short in the front lawn, or how I prefer crew socks over ankleless, etc.
