Rear mud flap mod and re-install


These mud flaps had to go.. The bottom lookeds like parachutes.


However, when they were gone that seemed to open the wheel well into a large open area inside the rear bumper. Which might cause more drag and might fill up with snow in the winter..

So, I cut the bottom (flap section) off and re-installed the two rear semi-flaps.


Looks pretty sweet now..

Here's a shot from the rear, showing the large cavity that's no longer so badly exposed to the left rear tire.


I'm pretty sure this change will have only a slight effect on the CD, but it is very likely to be helpful when driving in snow.
