She had that fucking sofa the entire time I was growing up. Yeah, the plastic protected the fabric until it finally became brittle and started cracking. But by that time, the internal structure of the sofa had broken down so that you'd sink right through one end of it if not for the plastic holding you up off the floor. So we ended up taking an out-of-style busted-ass sofa with perfect fabric to Goodwill.
These Rally Armor mudflaps are the automotive equivalent of my grandmother's plastic sofa covering. What you're protecting against isn't worth the ugly, when there are OEM solutions that do the job reasonably well without making the car look stupid.

tl;dr.. ok I lied, but lemme tell you this one. I installed them for form and function. Love the look. Enjoy the added protection as I live in the sticks. You think they look stupid. That doesn't mean they look stupid.
