Does Drilling Holes for Mud Flaps Installation Affect the Car?

[Dean]

Yes, drilling holes for mud flaps installation typically affects the car in several ways, including reduced ground clearance, part rusting, etc. Reduced Ground Clearance: Mud flaps will lower the ground clearance of the car, affecting its off-road capability. Part Rusting: Installing mud flaps requires drilling holes in the car body for screws, which can allow rainwater to seep in and cause rust over time. Mud Flaps Turn into "Mud Scrapers": When driving on mountain roads or muddy terrain, dirt and debris can accumulate on the flaps, turning them into mud scrapers. Vehicle Instability and Increased Noise: Mud flaps can disrupt the car's aerodynamic design, creating wind resistance at high speeds, leading to instability and increased chassis noise.
