I think they look a little better without, yet I would feel bad if I sent a rock at a windshield of the person behind me. I plan to install mine soon.

i have mine on for two reasons, i dont have any reason to take them off, and i dont want to cause any problems with the local police.

as far as looks go i think it depends on the rest of your rig...(lift height, tire size, etc.)

Nope, but I might consider a nice matching set of 4.

Quick disconnects on mine, so on for the road (and the CHP who take a dim view of no mudflaps) and off for the trail:

Sucker! The rest of you, leave 'em off!
BTW, I had interference problems with the tailpipe of my Magnaflow and the metal mounting plate for the RR mudflap. Took 'em off, fixed the problem, and it looks better for it.
