Mud Flaps??


Recommended Posts

I have them too and love em. Had the factory 'splash guards' before, they did nothing and actually damaged the paint behind the wheel well where dirt would get trapped. Luckily I caught it in time.

 

The RA flaps work great, look great, and aren't designed in such a way that dirt can get trapped against your paint!

Wow those look good....

 

how much were they after all is said and done?

 

I replaced the plastic screw clips with metal ones from Lowe's. I stripped couple of them and decided to get metal ones and thought the others will strip out soon due to them flapping in the wind. They scrape when I go over speed bumps and as you can see, my car sits stock.

 

I do not remember how much I paid for them. I got them last year with the "Scoobies for Boobies" deal and got a discount. Rally Armor gave ten dollars to Breast Cancer research for every "Pink" set they sold. That is why mine are pink. Can't get them normally, I don't think.

I like them. The people behind me love them in the rain. They dont get all the mist into their windshield + I got less dents, scratches, and tar stains on the sides.

I have them as well and i will have to get some pictures so u can see how much it actually blocks from hitting the side of the car. I love them, i have a swp and live in new england and my road has been dirt for the last couple months. really protects against all the rocks, pebbles, and mud

I have the urethane type on my '05 OBXT. $95? I wish. The urethane were $129, but should last forever.

 

I like them. They're easy to install. Below my pics is a cut and paste from the DIY section of the OB forum.

As for the question about being adjustable, I used up the slot travel getting them square to the world and each other.

Yes, replace the clips. After a few months, I lost 1 clip on two different flaps. They still stayed in place but I imagine after a few more months more may have come lose. They sit pretty close to the ground. They sit approx. 3" above the ground on my stock suspension. They may hit speed bumps but I wouldn't worry about that because they are a very durable. My only complaint: such a sexy gloss gets really dirty and must be cleaned often to keep a fresh look. Totally worth it though.

Here are some of the Rally Armor UR's I installed on the g/f's ride. They work awesome...and we actually got them really muddy. Kept all the mud in the fenderwells and off the paint. works super good in the snow too...

DrSpeed- When did you pick those up, I had a hard time finding the flaps with the blue logo when I was purchasing about 6 months ago.

 

Yeah, they were discontinued. I ended up calling up RA to get them custom ordered/made.

 

So, I had to wait until they made their next run of UR mudflaps, and had a custom set printed out in blue. It took a while - about 4 weeks, but I wasn't in a rush.
