"Group buy opportunity" for reasonably priced Mud Flaps (Model 3)

[WilliamG]

I get being "flooded" with orders, but other than my Paypal receipt, have not heard one word about my order since I placed it on the 17th. They only sell two products - they can't be that far behind that they can't email confirmations or order #'s.

I tend to agree. In this day and age that’s a bare minimum. I’ve heard nothing, either.

@cevM3 and @WilliamG - Did you try emailing Mike to see what the hold up is?

I emailed last week and he said probably by the weekend. I’m sure there’s a lot of people in my boat, so I don’t think it’s too much to expect either a confirmation email of some sort, or a mass email saying it will be a little longer.

Good to know. Thanks for sharing.

Frankly, once I order something from a company, it becomes incumbent on them to process the order and communicate appropriately. If this was a high-dollar purchase I'd probably put more effort in, but for now I'm just going to wait and see how long it takes for something to happen. Right now, Mike isn't doing anything other than making it hard for me to recommend his company or products.

I can't fault your frustration. Communication should occur, re delivery timing, especially in this day and age.

Finally installed mine yesterday morning before it got hot.. My install wasn't as smooth as others. One of the replacement clips for installing the front Mud Flap keeps popping out and I did try all 4 and it seems to be a consistent problem most likely with my particular car. For the rears, I couldn't get them perfectly level horizontally. Getting them perfectly level would involve the top part of the mud flap being adhered to the fender liner and not the lip of the fender. I'm not sure if the flaps aren't cut straight or if the slit in the flap for the rear bracket is not cut correctly. In either case, the double stick tape is already starting to pull away from the lip of the fender.. I'll email Mike and ask what's up, but I'll probably remove them. Not really happy with the end result.

Wow, thanks for sharing. Please let us know what Mike's answer/solution is (in case others find themselves in a similar boat)!

See the rear mud flap pic on post # 208. This is what my passenger side looks like. The driver's side looks much worse..

It bugs me the flap is not level horizontally to the ground. I have a roll of the 3M double stick tape, so I'm going to pull it off and try again.

@jebinc - are you rear mud flaps level horizontally and parallel to the ground ?

If Mike emails me back, I'll post his response...

Perfect, thanks!

Anybody else who has installed the rear mud flaps - is the bottom of the flap level and parallel to the ground or do they slightly angle up towards the inside of the car ?

I didn't put a level on it; just followed the instructions provided - to tip the top edge inside the quarter panel edge. Looks fine, visually.

I am the poster for #208. The rear mudflaps are leveled horizontally to the ground. It is because of the flap curving towards the front that make it look like it is not leveled. If you get down very close to the ground you will know they are leveled.

Yes, they seem to be, @jkoya

I never got any thing other that the PayPal receipt either... but it wasn’t a big deal.

Also, the flaps are very adjustable so if they aren’t level I would say that is “installer error”....

The rear flaps are not that adjustable. I can get them level, but the top of the rear flap would have to stick to the inner fender well liner, not the inner lip of the fender.

Thanks for the info. I put a level to mine and they are about a half bubble off. I'm pulling mine off.

I have emailed and sent him messages on the forum and complete silence. I'm having them shipped to a package depot so I need shipping details in order to pick them up. Hopefully hear something this week.
