They donā€™t stop the back of the car from getting dirty and will be in the way if you go off road.

I lost the rear left mudflap & had more mud on the car than on the right side.

yes to a degree - keeps the bumper sides cleaner, but no effect on tailgate Jules

These work! The first thing I do after stopping in the outback is dust off the rear of the car. Used it on my previous car as well.

I always thought that mudflaps cut down the airborne spray created by the car, helping those following.

Not sure of the effect on the FL2s superb aerodynamics though. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 77k+ miles) (MY2015)
