As it stands, I get gravel being flung INTO my car even WITH the flaps. I've literally been hit (painfully) in the face by pieces of gravel that bounced off of the mirror or window opening and into the car. I also drive in the winter, and they salt the crap out of the roads here, which means kicking up giant chunks of rock salt everywhere.

Here's what my car looks like from the front under heavy braking on my autocross setup. Note how far out the tires protrude from the body work at the bottom

Sounds like you need peterbuilt flaps.

Either way, form of function, they are very ugly on a twin.
