Fit mudflaps if you do not have the Extended Arches... will change the look and stance of the car. Better in my opinion...

Very subjective but personally never a fan of mudflaps but that is just my opinion.

is it me or do the front ones look like they don't fit properly with the side steps? I'm also considering buying flaps :)

So looking at Pewters pics, I like the look... Now where is the best place to buy these? Ebay doesnt have any, even used... Not paying "stealer" prices.... Also wheres the best place to buy the 4.8 ovel pipes for my quad pipes?

I got mine from the dealer..........around £80 all round which for the size i though was not too bad. The pipes on mine were OEM and iirc were just over £100 each
