Question Can you use OEM mudflaps (front & rear) w/ OEM sideskirts?

Like the title says, I need to know if you can use both front & rear OEM mudflaps w/ OEM sideskirts. Anyone know?

Thanks!

Uh.......OEM sideskirts? Never heard of 'em! I've got the mudflaps and I can't imagine how they would or could possibly work with ANY sort of sideskirt. Do you have a Mazda part number?

You can't use the front mudguards with the oem sideskirts. You can, however, keep the rears though of course.

Jesus H. Christ, Ramy, considering how much time you put in on this forum, using the handy SEARCH button ever cross your mind?

Does this answer your question?

They definitely exist. I've sold a few of 'em

According to Flybye:

OEM Mudflaps are PLASTIC.
The set of 4 will run about $200
They were a dealer OPTION in the US.

OEM Sideskirts are Rubber.
The set of 4 will run you about $1300
These were NEVER available as a dealer option in the US. The sideskirts have been discontinued for a while, too.

Re: part #s, FDO1-51-9B0B, and FD01-51-9C0B. Being that they're made of rubber, they're incredibly flexible.

Thank you

Gil, I've seen pics showing the same setup, but no where did it explicitly state that they don't work w/ one another - at least not from the VERY few (try 7) threads that I found on the ENTIRE forum that contain the word "OEM," "sideskirts," and "mudflaps"

PS: Gil, I'm still waiting on a reply to my PM from about 4 months ago

wait...i thought oem mudflaps are made out of rubber too.
its very fluexible.
i had a set of front and rear mud guards.
its seems POSSIBLE to fit the oem front guards with the rear section of the oem sideskirts... but whats the point..the oem skirts come with both the two parts.

I had a buyer who wanted the skirts only if you could use the front mudflaps w/ 'em too. That's why I asked

Please notice I prefaced my comment about the material the mudflaps and skirts were made of by saying "according to Flybye..."

I don't think the front ones will fit either.
