Are they for when you go "off-roading"?

I'm teasing - but I'm not really a big fan of mudflaps........

Doesn't look too bad. I have a set of black flaps on mine that I got from Ecklers. Many may not like the looks of flaps on the C5, but it sure does keep a lot of rock chips off the side of the car.

You are correct 99. They are the same guards.

It's your car...
My car is five years old, is lowered, and has 55,000 miles on it.. I dont remotely feel the need for MUD flaps.. but then I dont do any Mudding either..

I'm not a fan of the mud flaps. If I were going to do them, they'd have to be satin black.

But what the hell do I know. I know what I've done isn't for everyone. But it's the only one I know of that looks like it

Go ahead and put them on there ghost. Then all you need is a set of Jumbo Mudders.

With my rock chips, I understand the temptation.

But I still resisted. Just doesn't seem right.

Cirrus' does look better than I ever thought possible.
