I'm not a big fan of mudflaps, but.......
1. They DO protect the paint from road debris
2. The white pony look pretty cool
You obviously like them, and for the above reasons I give em a thumbs up. By the way, if you later ever decide that you don't like the mudflaps, you could get some 3M protective film for the paint area below the door sill. You may or may not want to repaint the area first before using the film.

I think its a nice mod, everyone has different perspectives.

It seems the side scoops get the most sandblasting, does anyone else have that problem?

Anyone remore the side scoops? Are they bolted or just taped on?
i would rather repaint the rear bumper every X amount of time than put mudd flaps on it. But thats just my opinion. The side scoops get hammered on mine as well.
I was on a poker run with some other cobras, and two had mud flaps but they were just clamped on. Good idea for a long trip.
They are held on by clips. Get a good firm grip on them and give them a good tug. They should pop off. Once you get one off, the other one should be easier since you will now know what you are dealing with.airmanb2b said:
I am honestly not trying to be a smartass, but you might want to touch up the other "front leg" of the Mustang with white paint. Right now you have some 3 legged ponies on your mudflaps.
FWIW, I pulled the flaps off my 88 vert and have them sitting in my garage. I am not a huge fan of the flaps, but I commend you for your effort in trying to keep the paint protected from rock chips, road paint, etc.

Take a closer look and you will see what I am talking about. I can see in your picture the outline for the other front leg, but it is still black. For reference, take a look at the following Mustang emblems and pay close attention to what would be the front right leg of the horse:

There should be a gap between the front right leg in the bent position and the front left leg in the fully extended (straight) position. It appears that you painted the "gap" instead of the leg.
Pretty nice detail for what you've done. Like others have said, if you like it, go for it.

If you can see this better the horse is raised out above cut out. In that part is no leg and if painted would fill background
I get your point, but if you do not like it move on as you say!
the horse faces the wrong way on a mustang anyway.
some of the early model mustang crowd puts the mudflaps on temporarily with binder clips. clip from the wheel opening lip to the mudflap on the inside. that way you dont have to drill holes through the lip

I never had a problem with sandblasting the side scoops, and I took a number of longer mileage trips. I got minimal sandblasting on the lower sill area. Guess either I was lucky or the paint on my car was exceptional. ;-)cobra12003 said:
