Do a search in the build threads 95falcon if you have so much time to waste with useless posts then you can work out who has stock and who has modified if this is what floats your boat : :

Oh yeah then it would be a matter of what you classify as stock and modified............ :

Well to be honest its a easy answer that would take 5 seconds to respond to and its been pulled out proportion and this guy now has a warning on his comment.
Im not the usual guy to be sticking up for people on forums that i dont know but i think it was a simple question really.

I requested a list of your mods as it is relevant to my request to prove my point that this thread is useless.
Mother nature already has proven you wrong, she mentioned she has super lows. Any other mods are irrelevant to mudflaps causing an issue.

How they look is subjective to the repective owner, modified car or not.

I've taken the flaps off all of my cars... When I had the NF on ultralows, the rear flaps would have hit the ground constantly.
I never had any damage to the sides of my cars without them there.

sorted you guys stir up stuff when its not same view as you in here>
mate to be honest i couldnt really care about who is who around here.
Forums are for people the voice there opinion knowledge and various things that happened to them. If you guys cant except a opinion of someone and get on with it then maybe not the right people to be in control.
Sorted there has been no mention of your car to date. And well thats fine once again u proving the guy wrong , Doesnt mean u have to make a comment about getting tissues out,
There are going to be people that you always dont like . Rather than being a keyboard warrior and making comment how about you just relax and let him make a fool out of himself rather than u ,

Lol, what a thread.

Mud flaps are silly, on my Xr there was still stone chips on the sills with mud flaps, and the mudflaps rubbed though the paint, now i have them of and its showing ugly rub marks. But thats gonna be fixed with a respray. Stupid mud flaps wont go back on.


Also, Bonnet protecors fall into the same "I've conned ya" salesmen product, they just deflect stones into you window and futher up the bonnet.

OK I get your intent now. Perhaps I was a bit hasty but in my defence I note traditional rule is to follow a sarcastic remark by multiple explanation marks, or these days on the Internet, an appropriate emoticon :-) : : . People are otherwise entitled to interpret what you say literally :-) : !!!!

Like I always say, stone chips look better than mudflaps!

I'm surprised at the percentages; I thought no mudflaps would be the vast majority...
