Mud flaps

[SPhilli911]

For me the Rally Armor looks much cleaner. The extra molded part supplied help to remove the gap. You do need to adjust the bracket shape until it is flush. They hardware is also extremely well though out but I did and recommend using thread lock. Here are some older dirty pictures. If you want more let me know.

When you say adjust the bracket, do you mean just the outside, black colored one (as the instructions call for)? Or the interior bracket as well? The issue I am having is that no matter how perfectly I make the trim flush before putting the locknuts on, tightening the nuts pulls the trim away and creates a gap.

I'll try to take pictures later. It's been very frustrating trying to close the gap. I've not tried adjusting the inner bracket though.

YA that part took a lot of time to adjust. You have to over adjust as the bolts squeeze/ pull. I also adjusted with them in place with success. If it was still a problem I was going to add glue in the molded part's grove that slides on the body and let it dry a day before adding the flap. At the end it did not require this but I will review after the snowy season.

The videos and other peoples instructions are better than the included ones... But one part that's correct is to bend that bracket a small amount at the last 1.25 inch... Almost at the very bottom. Once I did this it snugged up perfectly flush to the car when I tightened it.

The stock instructions should include CanadianGuy's regimen of Loctite on the nuts and screws.

The rears stay tight on their own in my opinion but they do something I don't like... The rear bumper has no support in the area attached so the flaps have a tendency of sitting crooked after a couple days due to the torque of the screws on the rear bumper. If you look at pictures on most people's car you can notice this in the rear. Perhaps I'll loosen the rears to relieve the stress and re tighten them so they sit completely level again.

To be clear, they don't fall down, the torque of the fasteners seems to curl them upward so they cant upward toward the middle of the car if that makes sense.

Anyone know if RokBlokz are of high enough quality? I have a FiST on Mountune springs and live in Calgary so, rokblokz at least have mudflaps that are "for lowered cars" that aren't quite as vertical. Would be perfect for when it snows here or so I don't scrape that much. I mean i had a JDM evo IV on coils that was a scrape fest , but I'm sort of out of my 'slammed' phase in life.

Get the rally armor. RokBlokz don't sit flush

The rally armor will work for a 1" lowered car without scrapping. Check my thread for pictures. I am not lowered but it has 3-4" between ground and flap.

Do they sell OEM style mud flaps? All the oem ones they sell say it doesn't fit ST models...

I have a set of RoadSport 4754 'B' Series Premier Splashguards, because everyone asks me where I got em.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CPHXRG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They're $10/set of 2 flaps, but they are a big pain in the ass to install. It's worth the $75-80 to get a set that's pre-fitted to the car rather than the trial and error I went through.

What wheel and tire set up is that?

Love the setup, what wheels are those?
