Any of you have mudflaps

I will be driving the car in the city. I am getting mixed feedback from people on whether I should bother getting mudflaps. Any of you have them? Why or why not?

Get them. $160 isn't that bad and some have done it themselves.

I have installed them. They look good and were fairly easy to install. I didn't even have to remove the wheels. They are well designed and should be effective in keeping the dirt off the rocker panels.

I've seen pictures on this site of properly fitted flaps and they look good. I bought flaps with my $500 certificate and had the dealer install them. There was a 1/8" gap in various places around some flaps. The dealer swears they were installed properly, but agreed that they don't look good enough. I ended up leaving with the understanding that they are going to buy another set for a car on the lot. If they look perfect, then maybe I got a bad set and they're going to buy me another. If not, then I'm having mine removed. I think I just got a bit unlucky with mine. If the fit was right, I think they look fine.
