Mud Flaps

Do you think Evo mud flaps would fit on our cars: directly, some modification or no it will not. EX. http://cgi.ebay.com/Mitsubishi-Evolu...QQcmdZViewItem

those appear that they would fit, they are rubber, so if the stock evo bolt ups there dont fit, you could always punch a new hole to make them fit. I dont see a problem with the hole tearing as long as you put a washer on the bolt.
As for any made for the ralliart.. I dont think we have any..

There's the OEM mudguards, bit different than flaps, but still get the job done.

I just checked my car and it looks like the ones for the front will fit. It has four holes but the back one only has two holes so i dont know how they would stay on good.

Is it because of the color? If so, it does come in different ones.

I live in connecticut and when it snows, alot of it builds up at the rear bumper area and side skirts. I think this will help it not build up under there. When it freezes its a pita to get off and it scrapes when i drive.

Every UK Evo is sold with Mudflaps as standard. Why? Because encase you didnt know - its a rally car and they are important. Rally stages are normal roads, not specially built, so the mudflaps are really there to help on our muddy, country roads. They may not be needed in most parts of the USA however. I have the Evo IX dealer mudflaps on mine - but they would look rubbish if my car didnt look like an Evo IX.

Being in Canada, yah they would be functional. I'd go for it, you could make them fit.
I would just consider shortening them if your city driving. And taking them off in the summer!

My car is white so i think i'm gonna buy white ones the season!

I took my Lancer out in the snow for the first time, Wow are cars are fun in lot's snow!!!!

haha i just had that experience when it like a week ago when it started to snow. the ice just fell of today. it scraped the tires on turns.

today it snowed a little bit more and tried drifting for the forstt time after work well.. first time since i got thecar. wasnt going fast enough for anything good. and there wasnt enough snow, mainly wet. i know u can drift anytime but idont like unsessicary wearing out of the tires. this is getting off topic. but those rediculuose fast and feriouse movies...*nods head*..tokyo drift. there just killing sets of tires one after another
