Should I mud flap?

I have Millenium Yellow rear contoured mud flaps just hanging around. Do they look good on the Z? Need to drill to install. Anyone have any pictures I can see? Thanx a bunch.

My buddy put some on his EB Z. they didn't last too long, speed bumps. Even the speed bumps at Pocono raceway got them.

Even the rear ones scraped? Those are the only ones I want to install.

thr fronts will scrape for sure depmeding on how low they go. maybe you can find a set thats a little wide to keep rock chips and dirt off your lower door corner area

I bought a set of MY flaps as soon as I got my Z. I placed them next to the car. (yuck). I will never put them on.

I still have them in the package if anyone wants them...

Car rides like a truck, anyway. (short wheelbase.)

I like them.Did you have to drill holes or did they bolt right on?

I'm that buddy, you can leave the rears as they are, but the fronts need to be chopped. I salvaged mine after I blew them away by removing 2 1/2 " off the botton. Should have done it sooner becuase they look great. They look like subtle flares now and no more bottom out. Live and learn.
