Oh please, please, please sell those to me.

Did I mention please?

I suppose I could....

Are you wanting both sets (4 flaps) or just one set?

Tuck the wheels farther in so they don't stick out 2" ?

They stick out NOW about 2 cm past the flare on the quarter, and that is rounding way up. (more like 1.6)

That is fine if you wanna give the old "Sticks out 5 feet" kind of advise. But just to let you, it doesn't help at all and its all been herd before ...

i do plan on having them tuck more, its hard to do something that no one has done before, gimme some time to figure this one out.

It's not the mud flaps that attract the cops. If you don't ave mud flaps and do a lot of burnouts, the rubber on the rear 1/4 will attract the cops. They see that and they know you been playin!
