I know I post this at my own peril of being accused of blowing my car up with a bazoka or something but I'm risking it.

Ensure that you do some research on this Chris before you decide to buy, I've seen reports (on here for instance) that they can actually cause certain problems.

Are you being serious? what issues can they cause aside from buildup between the flap and paintwork or chips caused by the clamps causing rust. If you panel seal between the flap and car then also apply the clamps with rubber tiles on the other bite side you will obtain zero rust.

As I mentioned, I've heard about issues from others, and you've actually given two examples yourself.

Hi,
That's what I've done with mine. Does anyone know a better way of attaching mud flaps?
