My BRG is being delivered in 3 weeks. I was planning to have the dealer install the rear mudflaps. I have them on my other cars and I not only like the protection they offer but they also give the car a lower profile.

Anybody out there have them on? Can you show me what they look like (rear and side view)

Finally, when I was test driving the MC at the dealer I had to take it super slow over speed bumps...I'm worried about potential clearance problems if I add the flaps. Any feedback????

I think your dealer might have been a bit overcautious; I see my fair share of speedbumps, and I've never had a problem at 10 mph or so.

One thing I can tell you about the mudflaps from reading people's posts here is that they're not going to help much in keeping the back of the car clean. If you like the looks of them, that's going to be their main benefit for you.

Congrats on finally (almost) getting your car!
