Why don't you just spend extra $20 for longer mud flaps (as I did), and be done with this? Is it really worth it? And no, I don't work for a dealer, I bought mine (XLS with protection and appearance packages) in SEP 07 at Grand Mitsu in Elmhurst, IL.

The Trims & Accessories page is correct, the XLS comes with Halogen headlights, fog lights and DRLs.
 
If you choose the Luxury Package you get Xenon HID headlights and the fog lights are replaced with low wattage DRL lights.
 
Seems simple enough to me.

I guess we all can't be MENSA members like yourself.

I'm not referring to the sandblasted rear fender flares. I'm referring to the chips on the front fender flares (behind the headlamps), hood, roof and doors. Basically every painted surface but the rear hatch (fingers crossed). How will mud flaps help?
 
Mitsubishi should equip the Qutlander with mud flaps as part of the design to prevent the sandblasting. Virtually every small SUV on the road has flared fenders, and maybe half have front mud flaps. Whether their rear fender flares would get blasted without the flaps is not certain. What is certain is that the half without flaps don't exhibit the same problem as the Outlander.
 
And, to answer your question, yes it is worth it if I dissuade even one potential buyer until Mitsubishi corrects the problem. Unfortunately, they've demonstrated no concern thus far. We need to maintain our resolve, and hit them in the wallet in the mean time. Don't visit the thread if it offends you.

I bought the mudflaps for mine after what I've read here. Hopefully, it will curb any chipping.

No, it doesn't offend me; we can discuss any topic as long as it is realistic. We can talk about mud flaps and running boards all day long. But blaming manufacturer for chips on your hood, roof or bumpers is just ridiculous. Try this in any forum.
Yes Mitsubishi should equip OUTLANDER with long mud flaps or side plastic panels at the bottom of the doors, like many other manufactures did. Something should be done for those areas. For now, you can just add those extra long flaps, and solve your problem. As far as flying stones from the car in front of you, how is that a Mitsubishi fault? If you think so, then go on your little war if you wish.

got it for $200 (including installation) from the dealer, hence, the high price...
 
hopefully as time goes by we can get cheaper accessories outside the dealerships...

That seams high, did you get long ones with Outlander logo (Japanese OEM), or plastic ones, sold here? I got short ones at first, they were fine, until they start using salt/sand mix for the last few storms. After few weeks, I spotted few chips on both of rear doors, and extended those mud guards with flexible rubber flaps. I have no problems since. I hope you will be well protected with your setup. Other than that, I still love this car. The only regret - I should go with leather seats. Fabric looks good, but I can't keep lint and dust off of it.
