    Only stone chips & a bit blasting from the grit on the road that is flung up by the tyres.

    Yes, the car will look higher for some reason, I took them off the VR and the car looked high, I put them back on because I do country driving, the the VR/VS mudflaps (not mounded) do a pretty good job as they are very big.

    I dont mind the shiny logo on my rear mudflaps (VS version).

    I recommend putting the screws back in after you take the mudflap off... you don't know what trim might fall off.
    I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere
