Mudflappers yo.

I know on a FWD car mudflaps are almost usless on the rear wheels, but I want to get some for my front ones...would it be considered "rice" to add them to the back to flow with the fronts? I think it looks dumb with just front ones...maybe thats just me..looking for some members input!

Mudflaps are useful no matter what your drive wheels are, they keep rocks and dirt from getting thrown up into your paint. Spinning tires throw debrit weather it's a drive wheel or not. Very useful, don't always look good though.

I saw someone on here put big ass mudflaps on their Cobalt, it really didn't look that bad. Try searching for it.

I had some big ass rally armor ones for winter. The problem is the rear inner liner is curved so the mud flap won't sit straight in the back.

But here's a couple pics of them

i got **** from all my friends for the flappers but i didnt give a ****. during the winter time they are way to legit to not put them on and for 25 bucks??? the Ralley armor's are the way to go!

and as mentioned above..the back mudlfaps dont sit straight in the back so i drilled a 1/4" hole through the mudflap into the wheel liner and put a 1/4" bolt with a 1-1/2 washer so it wouldnt hit my big ass beefy snow tires. mounting them was a snap
