They are well worth fitting as they do save the paint work from suffering from stone rash. I am not normally a lover of mud flaps, especially on a sports car, but to be honest they are hardly noticeable. Any half decent garage I'm sure would fit them for you if you can't do it yourself, it's a small price to pay for the protection they provide.
I make a concerted effort to follow traffic as far back as possible. Even so, I had to have a windshield replaced because of a stone hit from a truck about 100 yards ahead.
