Yeah, trucks and vans that are expected to drive in a variety of conditions.
The only cars that should be driven on muddy roads look like this:

It seems like that would defeat the purpose of the splash shield. I.E., if air can get in, so can water.

You don't have to follow standard engineering practices. Do what you seem to prefer. I'd wager you're not racing it , so the brakes are for looks and cooling is not a concern.

I want to do autocross with it. Those brakes are getting used, and used hard.

I've got a long, low spot in my driveway. I fix it, a decade goes by and it needs another grand of rock thrown at it.

Well that's good news. Don't hear that very often.

Do you drive in a heavy rain? Also the shield protect against little stones getting trapped in brake pad. Again these cars are designed for worst case conditions. gravel road at 50 mph, driving through deep puddle or road washout.

I live in So Cal. No unexpected downpours here. I've had the shields off my Barracuda since 1997. Little different climate and area.

I've got a good stretch of gravel road between my house and the asphalt. I don't have to drive the Charger when it rains, but it does have to go over gravel.

When the wife and I were looking to relocate a couple years ago, some really nice properties with acreage were on dirt roads.
No thanks.
I can't imagine living where I have to take a dirt road to get home. If all I had were beaters and pickup trucks, sure.
There was no way that I was going to drive my shiny cars on dirt roads like that.
Yeah, I've taken this one on a few....

But every day? Every time I want to go anywhere I have to drive on a dusty road?

LOL, you should have seen how it was when I was a boy. The county road was dirt and creek rock. If you drove down it, you were leaving a big rooster tail of dust.

Too bad I lost my interest in 4X4's.
