Let the haterade pour! No my car isn't a rally car. However, OEM mud flaps suck for what they're design to do. With winter coming...I'm prepared! If I don't like them I can always take them off and put the OEMs back on. Anyway, enjoy and fire those comments/questions away!

Rest of the install photos can be found here:

$100 for the flaps + $10 or so for hardware. Didn't need all of them so you can always spend less.

got a pic of the whole rear end with the flaps?

DevilsX · 10-21-2011, 01:26 AM

I'll take some tomorrow. I took the installed shots while at work since I didn't have time as I left for work with only the rear install. I'll have the front done and take shots of the completed work. They look retardedly wide on my stock and sunk in wheels (lowered) lol.

I may do this, awaiting pics...even if I only use them for winter they look like they functional whereas the OEM style don't look Luke they protect a whole lot. Thank you sir

Finally Some Pictures of my Koup

His are the basics (plastic blend) that are matte vs. mine which are urethane/glossy.

I have thought about this as....my car is down to bare metal right behind the front wheels, and my side skirts are taken damage as well.....

Copperhead_Koup · 10-21-2011, 09:33 AM

so this is better than the oem flaps? because it's bigger? i guess to help with the salt in the winter i suppose.

It doesn't trap dirt that's picked up from the road. The OEM ones are hollow and concaved on the side that actually gets debris hitting them. Little pockets from the molding. This is like trucker flaps, but designed for auto cross/rallying cars to keep gravel/pebbles from killing your car and bystanders. They make the car looks so much better especially if you get wider tires. Gives an illusion of a wide body kit

Gonna go brush my teeth and work on the front ones now.

Sexy flaps :]

Wish they mounted flush with the wheel wells. How well will they bend in cold temps? Backing up in deep snow tends to cause long flaps to crack off.

If this guy from Alberta rock his and testify for them, you can too. That is some serious snow!

Nice Find! Thanks for posting.

DevilsX · 10-21-2011, 11:56 PM

Yep! Sorry no pics yet. I did the front install this morning but did not have enough time to finish. I misjudged the location of the mounting holes again so when I dropped the car off the jacks my flaps touched the ground lol. I drove for a little bit and they did scrape soo..gonna finalize the project tomorrow with a buddy's help

Sorry for the delay.
