Reverse mud flaps

So I was out at the pick-n-pull Saturday looking for a bed extender for my Ranger. No such luck unfortunately. But I did notice the mud flaps on quite a few Rangers. We usually say "Get rid of those mud flaps ASAP." but I wondered if you switched sides and reversed them, if they would be like a wheel spat of sorts. So I took one off to see how it fit on the other side. Surprisingly well I thought so I grabbed the four best ones I could find and brought them home. Set me back a whopping $8 so no big loss if the brain trust here thinks its a bad idea. I duct taped them on for these pictures so no body work was harmed as of yet.

What do you think?

The rears also swapped over pretty well. Would it be a good or bad idea to give the rear wheels the same treatment? Pay no attention to the factory mud flaps still there. They will be gone before you all get a chance to read this.
