DIY Rally Mud Flaps?

[Lancer1993]

As long a it bends enough for the guard shape.

I was thinking 3mm might be a bit thin.

I might get the 6mm, just need suitable bolts, probably something stainless and a pattern to make them.

Maybe a strip of LEDs for the bottom edge LOL

[Lancer1993]

Um dumb question but I was working under the assumption I'd need 4x 50x30cm sheets but just checked and each flap doesn't need to be any bigger than 25x30. So you can get 2 flaps from one of the sheets sold on eBay, halving the materials cost.

How big are the Rallyarmor ones?

Still not found a design to cut them out... wish Rallyarmor made them in yellow

[Lancer1993]

UPDATE - I've found a local place that can supply the PVC material and can cut it to shape at a good price, just need a pattern their computer can use to do the cutting.

I have seen some pictures online but without dimensions they are useless.

Please does anyone have a PDF design of the flaps?

I get home on Sunday if you can wait I'll look then

That would be great, I'm in no hurry to get this done. Rather do it right the first time.

The plastics place can also engrave anything I want on them. Depending on cost I might do it.

I am amazed there isn't more places that specialize in custom mud flaps where you get to choose the logo or writing you want on them. I know the likes of Rallyarmor have a range for different car but they are limited and don't come in anything but black or red. What about white, blue, yellow or even green or pink to suit what the owners want?

Probably because modern cars these days aren't designed to have mud flaps with the lines and curves they have and all, and plus TBH, mudflaps on cars are butt ugly, reminds me of a truck or fourbie...

Well I want my CJ to be different, could done the easy thing an pay $50 for the factory front ones and been done with it. Besides if I get tired of them I'll take them off.

Thing is being custom you can choose how big they are, if the stick out to protect the side of the car and how far they drop to the ground, I'm thinking maybe 75mm clearance to the ground at the most

How'd it go?

[Speedie]

I have the scans of them. Will convert to a PDF so you can print them in A4. PM me your email

[Lancer1993]

Thanks for that, just sent a PM

also sent you a PM man, would love to grab a copy of those scans

[Speedie]

Yes its a scan of the rally armour flaps. Happy to send to anyone else

[Lancer1993]

Can you let us know when its sent, in case it gets put into the junk mail folder.

[Lancer1993]

First can a mod please move this thread to the exterior section?

Got the PDF and working on some designs, not sure if I want then to engrave them or not?

I was thinking maybe VRX? I'd need to paint in the black.


Or maybe this on the front ones?

I have no idea how they do the engraving or how deep, Maybe I can get some black plastic melted into the?

Anyone tried anything light this before?

I'll be seeing them next week.

This is the kind of mod I like, doing something different and from scratch, not just buying something and bolting it on.

Stickers work fine on PVC
