The molded mud guards I’ve seen all provide less protection and risk ruining the paint by getting dirt trapped between them and the body, plus I like the look and flex of the urethane flaps ---

Picked up the Jetta today. It’s an ok car, but a huge change for me. It handles surprisingly well but the brake dive and body roll is almost comical.:rofl The 6spd tiptronic, leather, heated seats, 100k mile warrenty are all pretty cool though. ---
