Mud Flaps?

I know this is subjectve but what do you guys think of them on the Evo? Most cars they look bad but I saw a few Evo's with them and they didn't look too bad. Reason I ask is I bought new wheels that are 20 offset. One thing I didn't take into consideration is how the wider stance is BLASTING the side of my car with dirt and pieces of rubber. Washed my car last Friday. Went to Cars and Coffee car show in Irvine Sat morning. It wasn't even raining. Ground was just wet from misting that night. Got to the show and the side of my car from top to bottom was covered in dirty water which dried to dirty dirt.

Which ones look the best? Rally Armor?

I'm still on stock tires and rims and bought the mud flaps for the same reasons. It's not 100% guaranteed protection but it should help some. On the upside I think they look great as well. I purchased mine from MAP and came with free shipping!

I've had both rally armor and OEM ones... for wide wheels I say rally armor is the best cause you can make them come out from the body further then the oem ones.. but the OEM ones are a lil thicker but the chrome plate gotta go... but I guess its really up to you

Have a buddy that has them, they look good on the Evo's. I personally like the rallyarmors just because you have color options. Looking to get some for Xmas so i can protect my pretty white sides from all that brake dust.

I'm about to pull the trigger and buy some especially since it's about that time for snow up here. I'd say go for it brotha.

I Go by the seasons. Winter time I put them on for those mountain trips. I take them off for the summer time. But either way rally armor is the way to go

Ask and ye shall recieve:

Although those are more towards VIII/IX it's the same principle. My car is post #43. I have a buddy up here who has the Rally Armor flaps on his X and it looks awesome, and the amount of crap they save your car from going through is ridiculous. It is well worth the $100, you will thank yourself and your car will love you that much more

By the way if you don't want to remove your wheels for the install (specifically rear). Buy your self a offset screw driver. I got THIS one from Home Depot. Made installation a cake. Or buy me some In-N-Out and I'll help out

If you are looking for Evo X specific Rally Armor Mud flaps we have them here They work very well on the stock fitment wheels and with most aftermarket larger wheels as well. Great protection

Rally Armor Mud flap for Evolution X

I personally like the way they look



They will poke out a bit as well for better coverage and protection.



Check them out in action



Few More fitment pics as well to help you out





If you have any questions you can let me know

Thanks,
Dallin

Mudflaps

They definitely detract a bit from the clean look and curves of the evo but it does add protection and a tougher look.
