they don't flow with the lines of our wheels wells.

these hang too low, stick out too far, and are labeled with needless graphics.

They actually look better than you think in person. The flaps aren't too obnoxious.

how easy are they to remove? i'd probably have them on for the winter and then remove them for the summer.

I'll be running a set this winter. The black with grey lettering, so it won't be very noticeable. I'd rather run the flaps than deal with the rock chips.

I don't know how I feel about the Rally Armors now. I just don't think they look right on this car. But, I'd like to see them on the car from a distance, if possible. Anyone have a pic of theirs? Plus, I just can't justify the $129 price of these, but they do protect more then OEM ones. I'm mainly using it to help keep dirty water/dirt off the side of the fenders, since that area, along with the trunk tend to be the dirtiest parts of the car for me.

Not a fan on the look personally but I get the whole "80s RWD rally car" theme.
^ I'm half on that wagon. Look at what Cusco has been doing

I saw an FR-S on facebook with a light pod on the hood, I thought it looked sweet. I can't remember who had it though.
I put my Rally Armor on last night and I have to say I love how it looks!
I plan on driving this car in winter, running some winter rallycross, and maybe some ice racing. So I'm gonna get my moneys worth out of these


I forgot to add, The rear flaps are very wide. So if you upgrade to wider tires you should be covered

I just got a set today and installed them. Just a tip for those that plan on getting these on installation. You'll have to turn the wheels when doing the fronts to get enough room to fit a short screwdriver obviously, but for the rears, I found that it was much easier to install the inner screw before installing the bracket to the car. You can hold the mud flap with bracket to the car to determine the final position and adjust as necessary. Then firm it up, install the bracket, then the 2 outer screws. There is still enough movement to adjust for vertical alignment with the inner screw tightened down. Just remember to snug the screws and don't go crazy tightening them.

I got the black with grey lettering on my DGM. I think they look really nice and don't stand out too much.

I really like these mud flaps. Not too big on the looks though. AWESOME on a WRX or STI but to me the BRZ just isn't a mud flap kind of car.

However, I will be buying these for the winter to help protect my car from slush and debris. Look very functional. Thing I like best about them is that they only attach to the inner fender of the car. The factory style ones wrap out onto the fender really do a number on your paint (better off without them) Had a set like that on my truck and the sand, salt, etc. got between the mud flap and fender. Just vibrating all that stuff into the fender like sandpaper. There was a nice spot with no clear coat when they were remove.

Just stating my experience and why I will be going with the Rally Armors for winter.

@cnk. I did the same combo on Asphalt. looks great. These look really good if you go with wide wheels

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

21020923-RallyArmorMudGaurd-04 by VictorN07, on Flickr

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".

21020923-RallyArmorMudGaurd-03 by VictorN07, on Flickr

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.

21020923-RallyArmorMudGaurd-06 by VictorN07, on Flickr

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

21020923-RallyArmorMudGaurd-09 by VictorN07, on Flickr

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.
