New Mud Flaps for EVO's!
i put mine on yesterday. the front one went on perfect, lined up perfect, very easy. the back ones took me three tries of putting tire back on, lowering car, lining up before i had them right. i ended up drilling new holes for one of thbolts on each rear mudflap, no big deal though. now they are all on and all lined up perfectly. i love them. hardly noticeable and i don't think they look that bad. anyway,
from me. just follow the directions posted by rally armor and you'll be just fine. took a little over an hour
I got mine today and put them on this afternoon, everything went really smoothly except that I only ended up putting on the front flaps. I just couldn't get the rear ones to look nice and level so I would definitely take the advice above and drill another hole to get them on straight. I'll try and post some pictures tomorrow when it's light out.
Twist the rear bushing around until you get the correct angle...its the hardest part of the install. (bolt it a little tight and push the complete assembly up with a little force till you get it right (when your buddy yells "Perfect!" bolt it down
)

Quick question for those that are getting these.......is anyone putting these on who has also lowered their evo by coilovers or different springs? Just curious as to how they'll look because I am thinking about getting some Tanabe GF210s in the near future. Thanks!
I got mine in last night and it is snowing hard today here in Colorado. Looks like a good morning to stay in the garage and install the new flaps. Mine came well wrapped and with all hardware, so I am looking forward to a quick install. Thanks.
Put mine on this morning. All the hardware was there and things went on smoothly. This was the first time I had the wheels off my car--it only has 2,000 miles on it--and besides having a hard time breaking the lugnuts loose I also discovered that my right rear tire was mounted BACKWARDS! It was clear that the rotational direction was wrong. The other three were fine, but this doesn't speak well of the factory's attention to detail.
I installed mine this weekend and look great on the car! I replaced the long screw in the rear flap with a different size because the screw diameter was much thicker than the OEM hole. I didn't wanna "retap" the existing threads in the OEM hole, so i went to the hardware store and got a smaller diameter screw with the same length that threads in with the OEM hole. Cost: 10c/each screw. Just something to keep in mind...I also sprayed clear coat paint over the rallyamror logo to ensure the logo stays there for a while. If you decide to do the clear coat thing, just make sure to wipe the excess spray off around the lettering or the black portion that you sprayed will be a lot glossier than the rest of the flap. Also, the clear coat paint seems to react to the red lettering upon initial contact. So, spray in very thin coats or the red lettering might run and melt away.

)I must say, after waiting so long for these I am extremely disappointed that the rears don't fit without extra drilling. Rally Armour took so long doing R&D (apparently) that one would expect the damn things to fit. Also, why are there 3 holes in the back flaps but only 2 mounting points? Are we being supplied universal rear flaps?
