YES!!!

I just ordered a new set myself since the ones I have on there are cracked and in half right now hanging on by a screw.

Got them at Mossy Nissan. Hit them up www.mossyperformance.com

I've got the same problem, except only the front passenger side is cracked. Yours wouldn't happen to be good would it?

I should have ordered a set from Greg when I got my clutch and other stuff, how much were they?

NO Hell No! The 1st. thing that comes to mind is those old cheap mudflaps from the 80's. I know factory, and newer mudflaps probably look better , but I just can't see hanging those things on a nice car.

I have white painted OEM mud flaps on all four corners - the car wouldn't look nearly as good without them.

yes only if there oem flaps. if your running anything wider than the stock rims the flaps help keep mud, rocks, and hondas that you run over from hitting the side of your ride:p

I would have to say NO!!! Those were the first things I took of my car!

Rob showed me the light, and told me to take off the back ones...and I did, and it looks a lot better. I will agree, they helped keep the mud off the car, but they were too big and square-looking.

I took the front ones off a longer time ago, they were actually rubbing speed bumps, and I got tired of that, so off they went.

Well i wanted the OEM so I can paint them. I have some DG side skirts that I haven't put on and im thinking of selling them and getting the OEM flaps.

Yes, they do protect the body of the car from rocks and other types of objects, but IMO they do not look right on B13s. OEM mudflaps (or any mudflaps in general) do not really match the styling or body of the B13. I've seen a few B13s with mudflaps on them and it makes the car looker higher than normal for some reason.

If any of you fella's who have removed a set are willing to let them go cheap, say $10 or so, let me know. Just don't send the style police my way!

The only mudflaps worth buying are the ones with the gold (or chrome) antennae curb feelers

My local dealer wanted $100 for the set. I ended up ordering from Courtesy for around $50/set.

Upside: Paint protection

Downside: When auto-xing the flaps will be the first thing to hit the cone on a tight course.

That makes my vote a no brainer. =P
They don't make the car faster, are of dubious style value and $50 bucks could possibly net you a couple of HP somewhere.
