Go for it. I did it and I don't regret it. I cut mine a little too short though.

It does, but when I am in the mud, I am set for an entirely different type of ride.

It doesn't kick up that much mud(in your face) When I go play in the mud. I just get so damn filthy it wouldn't matter if I put mud flaps on it. I am getting covered.

The difference in the flying mud is minimal. If you don't do it that much, I wouldn't worry about it.

Cutting my plastic was one of the biggest mistakes I made. I know it looks cool, and probably is worth it for MX racers, but where I ride, it is muddy more than it is dusty. I had to stop and wipe my goggles off every 100 yards, and I got 10 times muddier than with stock fenders. I had them for one ride, then bought new plastic.
