I would. Mine are pitted beyond belief now after about a year. But still love them from the backside and go great with my cf side skirts. Don't see the inside toward the fire so don't care so much. Would also help keep the noise down of all the rocks smashing into them.

Ordered on the 27th of October, have yet to receive a tracking number.
Did it take a while for you guys to get ?

Mine were shipped right away and received two days later. I ordered last week. Odd you haven't received them yet did you get a tracking email?

Thanks for the reply.
Just got an email yesterday, and since I ordered the carbon door handles as well, those are on backorder, so waiting it is .

Got the shipment .

Installed the carbon handles today.
And will probably do the mud flaps shortly. they actually seem fairly durable, was pleasantly surprised

No, none at all, everything works normally.

I've had mine on the car now well over a year and they still look great and haven't had any issues. For some reason there's a feeling of pleasure when you hear the rocks hitting the flap and not your car's body panel

Just installed these and worried about longevity. The rivets are not long enough and they are not catching on the inside of the fender due to the increased thickness with the mud flap.

Hoping the rivets don't fly off at high speeds! Think I am going to add some 3M tape.

These are NOT mud flaps or anything close to the function of the front ones. These are simple cf versions of the euro cars that laws require the body to extend past tires or something along those lines. So bmw puts these plastic pieces on the top of the wheel well. It does not extend down far enough to stop anything from hitting your rear apron.

Ah, so simply a cosmetic mod for us in the states? Didn’t know that about the euro regulations. Very interesting, thanks for the info!

Yup. Sorry. Just reread what I wrote. Didn't mean to sound heated. Just had flashbacks of some old convos with people about these lol.

Oh no worries! In rereading my post, it could be construed as I was offering misguided authoritative advice, but in reality it was more of a question of curiosity in complete ignorance

Looks good, is there a matte plastic version? I know BMW has the rear wheel arch lip protectors

You are correct these are not mud flaps or anything like that, BUT there is a common issue ive seen some M5s where the lip of the wheel well gets chewed up by rocks and debris and chips the paint. These would prevent that from happening id think?
