STiSubie109 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 So i'm looking into mudflaps and I know the classic RA's have been around forever. But I saw saw this new company flapatax based out of salt lake at half the price of RA's. Anyone have experience with their product? Thanks!

team23jordan Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 both RA and flapatax are overkill and too big for my taste..

tLewis7 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 both RA and flapatax are overkill and too big for my taste.. ~Tend to agree. But with the snow, slush and gravel during the winters here something to help keep the crap off the car and decrease the amount of grime thrown up on those you pass would be nice. ~Are you aware of another brand that is not so big?

frankbrunke Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 search around amazon.com. I picked up a set for my '10 and while they looked big, I think they fit good on the car for winter. While it did take a little bit longer to install, no holes, the end result is nice. I know this is not helpful without photos, will post some later.

spartan Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I have the flapatax and am very happy with them. I had them cut so that the top edge matches up with the fender, hence they don't stick out as much. I will see if I can get a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankbrunke Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Here are a few, kinda hard to see the black. I mounted them low, so sometimes they rub over speed bumps, but I like the look. http://www.frankbrunke.com/images/IMAG0135.jpg http://www.frankbrunke.com/images/IMAG0148.jpg http://www.frankbrunke.com/images/IMAG0149.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocHolladay23 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Flapatax makes good stuff, I thought all flaps were too expensive so I ended up with some DocDesign Ikea cutting board flaps [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers?

soloz2 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 those turned out pretty good. I don't have a garage or a heated place to work, other than my apartment (which is quite cluttered at the moment) Plus I'm OCD so I think going with a pre-cut/fitted set is what I need to do! lol.

subydrift Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 The kid that makes the Flapatax flaps lives down the street from me. He's a cool guy. His screen name on most forums is Pumpkyn. Everyone calls him PK. His flaps are good. I had them on my old 96' Impreza. The material is very heavy duty. If you are handy with a dremel or razor knife you can change the holes to slots and adjust the placement of the flap to where it sticks out more or is flush/inset. But for the price they are a great deal! And a great product! *When I get my lift spacers installed I might have him make me a set for my Outback but I'm still debating on if that's the look I want.

pre-dent Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I personally know Mike, the guy behind Flapatax. His products are of high quality and quite popular here in Utah. I wouldn't call him a "kid" though, lol. I don't use them because I am not a fan of mudflaps aesthetically on the 05+ body styles, but I would choose flapatax over RA. Function > form some say, I've considered a set for winter months. Check out his site @ http://flapatax.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakien Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I currently have Flapatax. I got them when he first started out. I really like the looks of them. I have used them both on and off road, and these are sturdy!

add is fun Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 i miss my car with the flapatax. had mine cut larger for rally. he cuts them to what you want and depending on where you are he can even install them for you. after i lowered the car with s-techs http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt313/adhditup/my%20car/DSC_0007.jpg http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt313/adhditup/my%20car/DSC_0005.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soloz2 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I ordered a set of Flapatax Simplified last night. Can't wait to get them. I snapped this pic earlier today... as you can see I really need mudflaps for my daily commute. http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2879/dirtylegacy.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us Current: 16 Crosstrek Premium w/ Eyesight & 05 Outback XT 5MT Past Subies: 14 FXT Premium, 14 WRX hatch, 06 Legacy 2.5i SE 5MT, 98 Outback wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 It might just be me, but I think RA flaps look like butt.
