Mud flap
If your getting xpell done is there a point to even get mud flaps or would it just be double protection.

I have both. There is no such thing as too much protection when it comes to road debris.

Some do not like the look of flaps. I have flaps and film.

Can someone post a photo of a GS with the mud flaps?

Front ACS Splash Guards designed for Grand Sport. They are wider and deeper than the GM guards.
Rear GM Splash Guards. Even ACS sells the GM rear guards when you buy a front back combo.
Thanks Jerry!

I would still do both. Even with the paint protected, stuff that flies up could still mar the film and leave noticeable marks as well.

They are on my '18, I wouldn't have ordered them. But now that I have them, they will keep the tire shine from pitching, which has always driven me crazy! So, glad they were included. They really aren't intrusive looking at all on my Torch Red Stingray.
