I finally got a set of OEM FC3S mud flaps. I'm thinking about sending them to an injection moulding place to get copied. Is there anyone out there that would be interested. What would you consider a fair price to be?

Thanks.

Very interested! I'd consider up to $100 ex. shipping, since they're so hard to find.

If I could afford it, yes . I think it would be a hit if someone started replicating them.

Thanks for all the replies and thanks for posting the pics. I'm going to get some quotes from a couple shops around here and hopefully can get a better idea on pricing.

What material were you thinking of using?
The original parts were made of a kind of urethane foam stuff- almost like the inside of the stock wings- and were solid, not hollow shells.
My car was purchased with OEM flaps but they were pretty chewed up, a testament to the harsh environment of the wheelwell.
In snow conditions, they tended to build up a lot of ice/snow behind them.

For those reasons, a replica made of say, fiberglass or something similar, would probably have a very short service life.

They also had a very finicky mounting system that used miniscule allen head set screws that clamped integrated brackets to the fender lip (along with a buttload of the world's most tenacious double sided tape).

A better mounting system and the proper material and I'd be in for a set at the $100 price point.

just say no too mud flaps

I was thinking of Urethane - but I'll see what the shops that I get quotes from say. I'm hoping to simplify the mounting system so that all I would have to do is get the rubber bits made and then leave the simplified mounting hardware to the purchaser - to lower the cost for everyone.

Aiming for the $100 price point...it will all depend on what the rubber mould places say and what a minimum order quantity will be.

I also have the S4 side aero parts...I was thinking of getting quotes on those - but I don't think anyone would want them.

Hi Guys,

Just a bit of an update. I've been in contact with a shop here locally. Rough estimates on pricing make me think it might be do-able. We will hopefully be meeting the week after Christmas to talk about prototyping.

more to come...
