Default Side Skirts Without Mudflaps

Hi guys,
I'm interested in installing the side skirts on my 08 Z51 & noticed some of the vendors sell these without the mudflaps. In term of aerodynamic, I think it's better without but just wanted to make sure the car doesn't look unfinished without them. If you've installed these side skirts without the mudflaps, please post some pics. Thanks.

They are required as part of the structural support of the side skirt. I think some vendors sell without so you can go buy OEM if you want to. It would not look right at all without them anyway,

Mud flaps belong on pick-em-up trucks that people like Billy Joe Jim Bob Crandall drives.

Splash guards go on Corvettes.
