Re: just a mud flap

I've never been a fan of them on anything except dually trucks. There are a few members here that have them and some of the cars pull them off nicely, but I would never have them on anything I own. But then again, I don't really have a need for them.

Not my cup of tea, but it doesn't matter what members think. Your ride, please yourself.

Re: just a mud flap

I made mine out of some thin aluminum which turned out nice other than they kinda got dented from stuff hitting them. They were meant to cover my old 275 tires, so they don't cover the inside of the new 325's. I really need these though as there is about 3/8" thick rubber on them from burnouts at the track.Name:  Tires02.jpg
