Why mudflaps? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

It's a subaru thing... IMO the big red ones look hideous on anything. I could def use some OEM ones however... I don't think they work with rear spats tho.

Bc I work in construction. Also, my office's parking lot was only recently paved. & I like the way they look

Because they come on the car. Standard in Canada.

Are you implying flappy mudflaps aren't awesome?

I've got the Rally Armor mudflaps on my car, and I think they look good, plus they are functional, which helps as I live on a dirt road. But hey, to each their own.

Wow. Is this real life?

I like the way they look, I like the way they keep my doors clean, and the extra protection to keep debris, etc from destroying my paint - especially since my FR-S is my DD.

Ganthrithor · 01-16-2014, 01:35 AM

I don't have them on mine, but I'm gonna guess because they're keep stuff off your car and because Subaru? I live in southern California and I still come home some days with dirt and shit streaking up and along my doors.

But not on the BRZ, weird. You can't even buy them from your Subaru dealer, only Scion canada has a part number.

They're working. Your side windows are clear. You should've seen my awd Jaguar before I washed it last Friday, it has factory flaps also. I could barely see out of it.

Look out, major Chinook is here. You may need an intake snorkel by this Friday.....

Simply because I live on a gravel road and drive on it 1 mile before I hit pavement every time I leave my house with the BRZ and would like to keep my paint intact.

I am sure this has been said already, but I just have to add, because our paint is so shitty
