Rally Armor Mud Flaps Review

Ordered direct from Rally Armor. They shipped USPS Priority from NY. Wasn't expecting it, but it came in two days. And on it went this morning.

I didn't get pictures of the flaps themselves. They are approximately 1/8" thick, made of urethane, have a shiny finish. They install into the factory clip locations so there isn't any drilling required. Remove the stock clips, install the bracket and plastic tabs for the screws and then screw the flap into place. The are "adjustable width" so they can slide in and out depending on preference. If you do not want to see the Rally Armor logo, you can turn the flaps over and switch sides.

Definitely have the right tools or be able to remove the wheels. I opted to not remove the wheels so I turned the screws using vice grips.

Other than the fact that the screws are silver, the flaps compliment the extra width from the 17x9 245 wheels. Some may say ugly, I think they look great and are hellafunctional. For pure aesthetics, I probably would not have gone with it if I didn't go with wide wheels. I think the color goes well with Asphalt/DGM too.

I brought my Nikon sans memory card so iPhone has to do. Now on to the pictures

Rear Stance

Rear ISO View. This is the flap pulled all the way out. Lines up with the wheel very well. I can slide it in about 1/2".

Front ISO View. I had the flap all the way in in the front. As you can sort of see, it's not flush with the wheel, but I think all the way out would look off.

Front installation. Held on with screws and washers. Wish the screws were black. Four in the front. Note the shinyness.

Rear Installation. Three in the back. It doesn't come all the way up to the wheel well liner, but you cannot see the gap from the rear, even if you bend down.
