I'm not trying to bash some of these companies that are making mudflaps for our car, but how can they charge 60-70 bucks for these things?? and how are people paying that much?
Well, the companies has to make a profit to stay in business
The main difference is that Rally Armor uses
Polyurethane plastic on their mud flaps. Polyurethane is not cheap, it is the same material used on the clearbra paint protection film.
The plastic on the waste basket is NOT made out of polyurethane. It is most likely either made out of
Polyethylene or
Polystyrene. I do
not recommend using
Polystyrene because they are brittle and not flexible. When you decide on a waste basket, try compressing the sides of the waste basket together, if the plastic is made out of cheap hard/brittle plastic, it will just crack. Do not get that.
Polyethylene is flexible. In my case, I got a
Rubbermaid branded waste basket. The plastic is very flexible, I tried bending/flexing it all around itself and it was fine. The plastic resist punctures, cold, cracking, and chemicals. It won't chip or dent or peel. I have used the mud flaps on my car for 11 months now (2008 and now 2009 mazda3). It is still in good condition
