    Lot's of rain here lately and mud is getting slung all over the sides of the car. I'm thinking of putting splash guards on the Challenger. But, I'm afraid it will really mess up the lines of the car. Any opinions?

    I never liked splash guards/mud flaps on anything. Kills the look of the car IMHO, but if you think you need them, go for it. I would rather have the mud on my car for a short time then have those things put on. ;)

    I vote yes on the splash guards. Put them on both my 2015 Challenger and my 2014 Ram. The MOPAR Guards look great an provide excellent paint protection. Don't leave home without them.

    They don't seem to look too bad. They use sand on the road here and I hate to see the stuff get blasted into the 1/4 panels. The flaps sure are expensive little goodies.

    They keep about 90% off the fenders, check ebay, all four for under $120 shipped. Make sure they specify 2015, no others years will work.

    Still not a mud flap guy on any design. Do you really need them on?

    After the door edge guards, next mod after I brought it home. They blend so well with the body lines, they are very subtle. I can use any help trying to keep black clean.
