Installed: Mud Flaps on Sportback

So i bought the ones for lancer, put them on the sportback, look good, very strudy. The only problem was hole #3 on the back, i popped a hole in the black wheel well plastic, and put a screw and washer in there.....would of been easier with the tire off, but who cares. tell me what you think. And is this a first for sportbacks? (idk how to insert photos so work with me)

Just a heads-up, this probably should've been posted in the "Show and Shine" section

the little metal L piece, didnt work so the screw is in the wheel well, and its not sticking out far enough, so instead of going with the shape on the wheel, the bend backward. i hope that explains it....

Nice!!! I want these too. But I went to the Rally Armor website and see that the Lancer mud flaps they have specifically say "*Does not directly fit 2009+ Lancer SPORTBACK or Lancer SPORTBACK Ralliart*". Am I looking in the wrong place?

The red look bad, just sayin. Other than that they look really good on the SB

No those are the ones you want. They say they dont fit because they dont fitt 100%. It just needs a small self tapping screw on the inside mount of the rear flaps to fit.

And to the OP dont listen to the haters, the red looks good. Its different.

Drill through the the rear mudflap that doesn't have a hole to line up to an existing hole (like the other two holes do) .

Insert the provided screw and secure from the backside of the plastic inner fender well with the supplied nutclip (just hold it - i won't 'clip to anything).

DaJackson and Veronica, thanks for the info! Did you get the $47 regular or the $124 urethane versions? I don't intend to go a-rallying, just want to keep road grime off the sides of the car, seems like regular would do it. What do you think? Thanks again.

Cheers.

I went Urethane just because I like the look and the lettering. I think they are longer too, but choose whichever you like best.
