I personally think mudgaurds finish off the look of the car and look great on any color car. I dont have any on my FD yet, but i will be getting some. Just buy the damn mud gaurds.

I have a brand new, never installed set if anyone wants them.

Yeah, I think they look good, but I'm going aftermarket so I want to get rid of them for now.

(white ones)

No rush, just let me know if you want them later, I'll probably still have them, I've got tons of stuff I'm too lazy to sell because they dont take that much space up, they're just chilling in the closet...

I need a set for the rear. Now that I have 10" rims on the back and everything sticks to the tires and fly out, I don't want rock to hit and **** up my paint. So I think they are great and when in use with the Feed side skirt, they complement them very well.

Any chance that someone could find a way to do a group buy on mudguards?

I'd probably be in for one if we could get it running, but the chances are very slim. Atleast, thats my guess.

I installed small black "standard type" mudflaps over my sideskirts (front) and mudgaurds (rear), and set them to stick down about 1 1/2" further. They are inside the wheel wells, and protect the parts of the bodywork that are exposed in there. The object was to reduce the paint chipping and noise from rocks thrown by the sticky tires.

besides checkin the for sale section, my best guess would be to check Ray to see if he has any in stock. Last i heard, they have them new and painted for around 80. But who knows now with their latest price jump.

Gosh...I guess I'm the oddball out being that I don't care for the mudflaps...

I don't think they're ugly or anything, just not my cup of tea. But then again, some of my feelings toward them have prob been formed in response to the hardcore "keep it stock" guys rockin the mudflaps like they're hardcore mods or something You know, the anti-exterior mod crew lol. So yea, I'm prob a bit biased against 'em hehe.

I know most of you guys are FD owners it looks like so I thought I would throw in an FC perspective. To be honest I don't think I've ever seen an FD or another FC in person that has them but, my '91 Turbo came with them and I couldn't imagine it without them. I think they would add a nice touch to the FD, sexy as it is a little extra sass can't hurt.
