I've had Pipedreams flaps for over a year and their the best I've seen. They are big enough to do the job but small enough that you hardly know their there.

No problems and Ed stands behind his product quality... Can't go wrong.

Going cross country, I hit a lot of gravel roads, construction areas, assorted road debri, etc.

Pipedream's splashguards totally saved my paint! A must have!

I use them as well. Nice product. Only thing you have to be careful of is installing the rear flaps - the metal clips that attach the flap to the body can really scratch the paint if you're not careful.

Flat flaps are available from many sources and are also a very easy DIY.

Ed's work great! And they are hardly noticeable. Most people never even see them until I point them out.

Jessica Alba would even look good in army boots. Just like the Corvette still looks sexy with the splash guards. (not mudflaps)
