Molded Mudguards

What do you guys think if the rear mud guards were to be molded onto the bumper? Should I do it? It does give it a cleaner look, I made a quick blend to see how it would look like. Has anyone ever done this before?

It looks crappy because I dont have photoshop, but anyone can do this for me that would be great!

honestly i think it would almost look as if they weren't there. I think the lines of the rear mud/splash guards are sexy.

Molded looks pretty bad. PPGFREAK's car is out of control though, what a paint job.

Stop posting PPGfreaks car, every time I see it I get pissed off! lol

If you mold your skirts then mold the mud guards, if you don't then don't mold anything.

This thread is great

Calvin whos car is that? I like mine moulded but that because you cant tell. In your picture you can see that they moulded them. But imo its not "moulded" if you can see it.

Here it is after paint. Did it because I like the oem bumper but I wanted it a little lower and with less lines.
