Which mud flaps to buy

Rally armor or Mitsu? Looks are important forsure but which are better? I may be getting the evo this month so I want to be prepared. Especially since its winter here and I dont want to get my car just to get it destroyed from road debris. Ill be putting a 3m bra on as well. Need to find the best one of those too.


Thanks

Do you like the big chrome "Evolution" bling on the Mitsu one? If you like it go for it, if not Rally

mudflap is mudflap to me... both are good, just the design

I have the OEM ones and they work great they're just expensive. I'm even used to the big ole' trucker style Evolution badge on the back of them.

^you might regret that. I did, that's why I just ordered a set of RallyArmor flaps. Worst case though, is you'll have to do 2 installs & sell the OEM ones. You may also still get some rock chips back there like I did btw, I do not have the aero kit

Yes good call and I forgot to mention that I'm using the OEM mudflaps in conjucntion with the 3M clear bra and haven't had any issues. With just the flaps alone you're still taking a gamble on rock chips and such. I'm non Aero as well.

i dunno, from pics the rally armor ones stick out way too much. Probably work better for that reason but I Dont like the look :| Why didnt you like the OEM ones? Was it because they didnt work as well?

I dont want to have to use mudflaps but until I get the clear bar I think its worth it, then I think i can take them off. Heh, id prefer not to use either but im getting it in black and i dont want rock chips showing all over it.
