Kind of worried about them, although Since I have side skirts and rear spats to put on as well, the mud flaps may just get ditched entirely. Maybe I'll get the RA ones and cut them down a bit so they don't stick out.

Ya, they would not work well at all at that height! Bit redundant with spats anyway I would think.

Yes and no with the spats. I suppose it all depends on how far out they stick. However, looking at the lip kit I have, I'm not even entirely sure I want to put it on anymore. And my final solution for the ride height at -3" might end up being a pipe dream. The roads in Guelph are an absolute mess, and it doesn't help I cheaped out on my coils... I had a date yesterday and I took her to Toronto to do some touristy stuff since she'd never been and on the drive there and back she kept mentioning how hard the bumpy ride was on "the girls" haha.

Anyways, enough OT for me now. OP, hope you find a workable solution

I don't like how the Rally Armor ones look like they were just stapled on. They just look out of place to me. I can certainly see how they offer better protection, as they stick out quite a bit on the sides, unfortunately that's the very reason I don't like the look.

I went with OEM. I like how they are form fitting and they just look like they belong on the car. I even think it's a minor cosmetic enhancement.

You know why I really don't like the RA flaps? Because they look damaged. It looks like you guys ripped the chrome naked girls off of them.

You guys do know they're adjustable to sink into the body.. Winter is in full force here so with lots of non-county maintained roads and washington shit weather, I move them out. During the summer I dial them back significantly, looks great

I'll take a pic when summer rolls around. Totally changes the look of the car. Refer to my rear-end picture here. Notice that they're completely out and block the wheel view. In summer you can dial it to what you like, really dynamic with the washer and slot setup on the RAs.
