So i didnt even think about this untill i read whatthe post WTB mudflaps I used to work for a truck accessory company that made mudflaps Action Accessories. I am sure that i could talk my old boss into letting me use his supplies and machines to make some mud flaps for our cars. But I would only be up for this if i could get enough people seriously interested in them as i would probablly be doing all the work...
I have no idea on the price, i will figure that out once i know i have enough people to get behind it then i'll go talk to him and figure something out. The intent would be to make flaps like the ones below, and in whatthe post(the only pics i could find? help). These would be black rubber only, with or without stainless steel weights on the bottom, If you wanted the weights on the bottom they could burn out CELICA in the weights. But that would be the only option the dont print anything on they rubber so dont ask

DUDE!!! I was looking all over for mudflaps. I have the gt-four front end conversion and a 3s swap. What would complete the rally feel besides AWD would be the Flaps. I want these BAD!!!! I was searching all over and C-One makes em but way too expensive. There are some out there for the subbies, but They won't fit well on our celicas. Let me know.

I'm just not a fan, they're huge and useless. Unless you have a GTFour and take it rallying.

my ikea flaps are now installed and only cost me $5 tax included. thing is that i will actually be putting them to use at rallyx's. if anyone isn't afraid of some diy mudflaps on the cheap, i'd be happy to provide the link to what i used and how i did it.

here's the $5 ikea mudflaps. i know they aren't uber stylish and super special, but for $5 and since i'll be beating them up in rallyx, i think they look just fine and think they'll do ok.
