I'm considering getting them for my project car, just wondering if anyone had pics of them installed, or any mud flap for that matter, doesn't have to be the VB ones. Just curious, thanks guys

Well my car came with them....Threw them out, as i hated the look....Also since they hadnt been installed properly, the holes started rusting. IMO i wouldnt add them, takes away for the look, and if you do, atleast be careful with mounting them!!

 

Yea, I agree it does take a bit away from the looks, but I'll be driving the car year round, and in New Jersey that covers a pretty wide array of weather. I don't have them on my other car, which also sees winter, but seems like it might be a good idea. Just getting ideas...

 

I'd leave them off, as they are ugly in my opinion, sorta "redneckish"

I've had mine on for over 25 years and think they look ok. They aren't VB, but I think if they are small enough they can still provide some protection from stone chips, yet bet hardly noticable.

Just my $0.02.

I think they are helpful in protecting the paint. The rear quarter of my FB really takes a beating through the muddy driveway. I have been considering buying a set of 4 after I touch up the paint.

If they are moulded to fit they look ok. There are likely many out there and some will undoubtedly look bad, and some good.

Hope to hear some feed back from VB buyers as I like the ease of buying through VB.

 

yuck

 

That's intelligent...yuck what?

 

Yea seriously, thats for wasting space in my thread, why not say something intelligent?

Anyway, the VB flaps look to be molded to fit so they might not be too bad. I think I might spring for them and see for myself.

 

I might have extra stock mudguard wtih worn out mazda logo. There is nothing wrong with having a mudguard. It kept my rear quarter panel clean from doing burnouts.

 

Wow Rich,

Your car is clean!!!

 

Why not pave the driveway.

 

Mud flaps are a LOT cheaper

 

I think the mudflaps look good. I hate it when the rear qtr panels are nasty but the rest of the car is clean. looks great.

 

Two words----- BODY KIT!!!!!!! Screw the mudflaps. I'm sorry, did I say that out loud.

 

Yeah, you put on a body kit to protect the paint, then mud flaps to protect the kit, then repaint the car to protect it. A vicious cycle that never ends.

Hell, for the wide body, I need running boards, either that or truck sized mud flaps that drag on the ground.

Honestly though, I don't mind mud flaps. If I had to rally through mud in my driveway, I would concider them.

 

These are Sports cars!!!! If you want to play in the mud, you get in your other car. HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I plan to rally my car, and it has shitty muflaps to protect rear quater panels, and boddy of car from salt snow, and stones. It looks ok, but I need bigger mudlfaps. Something that belongs on a large truck would be good for the rear.

 

You guy's in Canada are wierd!! Just kidding. I don't understand why you would want to ruin a good street car? I got it! You can't help but be drawn into the blackhole of the Rotary! Good luck with your project.

 

What body kit is that?

 

I have to put some on mine too. I live on a gravel road, and even in 1st gear my front and rear quarters are chipped to hell.

I bought 4 from Vic Brit, but haven't put them on yet. They are HUGE because of the way they mold to the car. I'd really like to see a pic of somebody who has put these ones on the car before I start drilling when it comes out from winter storage.

 

Sean, your gay!
