Not red.

Pros: You don't kick rocks to the people behind you or the body of the car.
Cons: They look ugly on the GVR-4. You generally have to drill them on.

Quoting Turbro_Negro:

Black Rally Armor was my thought...

Yeah....

These should look good and you probably wouldn't have to modify them very much.

Of course i have no problem with you, no problem with mudflaps on a gvr4, so please take this in the spirit with which its intended. And this is only in regards to off road style mudflaps, rally style mudflaps, or whatever you want to call them. Streamlined OEM mudguards need not apply.

Here is another fad that annoys the sh*t out of me. File it into the same category as roof racks that don't get used. I've seen them on FRS, hellaflush whatevers, 8th gen civics...ugh. I think they look great on the gvr4, and few cars can own them as well, but i'm burnt on them. The mudflap is a damn shame right now. Current guidelines:

-Lower your car. Nothing makes more sense than reducing ground clearance on your 'froad beast. So what if i can't even get my 8th gen civic over a speedbump? I'm a hoonigan!
-So what if my hellaflush MS3 is FWD, and the only time i ventured off road was when i was drunk trying to find a place to piss? It pretty much looks like an impreza hatchback.
-The roof racks and ornamental fixed gear bike made the car look top heavy. The mudflaps balance it out.
-I got a killer deal on ebay
-All my high school buddies have them
-Red ones are faster.

I admit it, I'm a mudflap lover. But only on AWDs. I don't think it is supposed to make any sense, except... i take my car up snowboarding. yeah. keeps the.. rocks off my car. yeah. and it's at stock ride height. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bahahaha. I don't take it personally and I COMPLETELY agree. I have seen a red set of Rally Armor Mudflaps on every single GD subaru around here and it drives me nuts. Having said that, my car is lowered, but I still take it on gravel and dirt roads often, and this will be even more common when I change duty stations back to SC here in the fall. The reason I was thinking of the rally armor is because they are somewhat malleable, and way long. I have had way too much crap flung onto my Boss 302 that has stock "streamlined" mudflaps, so I figured that some aftermarket ones may do a better job for the Galant. I just realized that I have justified myself to someone who wasn't asking for me to justify myself /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

 

[Jesus_Negros]

Well I'll hang onto the Boss while you go back to SC. Dont want you worrying about too much ya know /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[blacksheep]

Well, I have black rally armors on my Focus ST. I put them on as there was no OEM option. And before I put them on snow and muddy dirt would get kicked up all on my doors really really bad. It works for me, not trying to be a fanboie at all. I am non-lowered too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

If you have them and drive the car in gravel, off road, or whatever, it makes sense and i thank you for using them. Helps keep the rock chip count down for everyone else.

 

[manikbastrd]

So I clicked the linked to see the Rally Armor Mudflaps and I start reading the thread and WTF?! Did I just read on the second post?

"I have some, they seem good... they are thick and still BNIB...... I have to use them.... Red flaps and green car XMAS anyone?

I have universal ones btw... they seem great very thick."

 

[manikbastrd]

Good stuff right??? I refuse to put red mudflaps on my car...no sale. I am not a WRC Blue Subaru.
