Mud flaps
 
Hi, I noted a mud flaps for the 86 available on eBay. Any idea if they are or will be available locally?

I thought it looked like there should be... We must investigate :)

sav 11-27-2012 09:38 AM

Possibly but would you really want them on your car?

Vic_RSA 11-27-2012 09:52 AM

I had mudflaps on my RXI, and if they looked tasteful and subtle - not Cusco Rally Style

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6705 ;) LOL

then I would consider them... Even if they were plain black plastic they will look OK on the black, not so much on the pearl white maybe...

I have the OEM mudflaps on my car and am very happy with them. Fit is perfect and they're subtle enough that they don't stand out or detract from the car, yet still provide a noticable amount of protection.

Now thats what I'm talking about!

sav 11-27-2012 10:10 AM

No thanks, not for me. ;)

What do you need them for anyway?

JouMaSeHoes 11-27-2012 10:12 AM

I need them.... 20 kays of dirt road .....

Vic_RSA 11-27-2012 10:18 AM

To cover the holes in the back of the fender wells where they get attached - on a black car they are noticeable and empty - no blankers or anything. I see those holes every day walking to my car at my office. Something is missing!!! ;)

Vic_RSA 11-27-2012 10:26 AM

Nowadays with all the rain, trucks, SANRAL - every road is a dirt road...

@ JouMaSeHoes - you may want the Cusco rally pack afterall LOL!

I also live on a dirt road so there's protection for that. But it also helps out on track days when I do stupid crap like this...

Starting to slide.....

@ Vic - I reckon I'm going to sell the Amarok and get a Cusco!

@ diirk - The Subaru genes shine through! (Nice recovery btw)
