Mud Flaps

[bbrich57]

No, I'm not either, and avoided it for some time. But they do help keep the car much cleaner, longer.
The side-skirts and back side under-bumper (for lack of a better term. Back beneath the side reflectors) were getting all crapped up with tar and mud/dirt/dust, plus there's the stone chips. It's a hard area to see close up and and even harder one to clean road tar from. But you could see it well from a couple of feet away.
So I finally took the plunge and wish now that I had done it years before.
But I like mine more form fitting than what the current trend (see above) seems to be.

do you still have your old mud flaps? im looking at getting some (Rallying on backwoods dirt roads) in order to keep my paint a bit nicer.

Are there any molded mud flaps for the 3? These "rally" ones look incredibly stupid but I have had a couple cars with molded flaps that looked pretty good/subtle.

Check out PowerFlow. They are universal but have an expandable "flap" that will form to the body pretty well. They are trimmable as well.
That's what I have on mine.
As an added extra bonus, you can buy TWO complete set of four of those for what a pair of the "Rally flaps" cost... and after two yrs w/them on my car, I can report they do a VERY good job of protecting the bodywork too.

Haha well thanks! Come march/april/may I will be painting the wheels and getting spacers

Hey when you get your wheel spacers let me know what works for you. I just put speed6 wheels on my 3 off of one of the guys from over at Utahmazdas and I need to roll my fenders and space them out a bit cause they rub slightly on a full lock turn only turning left...

mine don't rub at all.... Are you on coils? springs? what.. and i plan to test fit my friends spacers, 15mm on the front and 25mm on the back, but i will let you know.
