There is no better looking way, but who looks at your mudflaps anyway? It was really worth to me because I live in snow country. Nerdy computer geeks look "not so handsome" too but they sure brought the computers a long way. The flaps actually look kinda cool to me but in a nerdy geek kind of way because I know they work.

we install some at work on these fleet trucks that are "long fender style" flaps..very cheap and very effective but also very ugly.
no direct pics but you can see them in these pics.

Interesting thread; everybody goes for looks more than function. Maybe I will remove my hood for easier access to water and oil..........just kidding.
I admit I will go for the looks in women.............but they will hate my mudflaps.

I like function...especially if form follows. Speaking of, I should invest in a different type of running board altogether. Yesterday, I almost tore off my passenger side running board trying to get unstuck from some DEEP clay! $1.25 at the car wash took car of that though. If I had a set that would let the mud/clay pass through, I wouldn't worry so much of it being there. If you have ever let clay harden on your truck, you know what a pain it is to remove and my running boards were loaded with it...not sure mud flaps would've helped. I imagine they would have torn holes in the fender wells.

Like this kinda DEEP?
No mud flap will help when the mud is folding the mirror in......
