Like those wheels
Damn, that car looks good. The mud flappers too. Hopefully they lessened the vibration a bit!

I can’t believe there are no mud flaps available for this car. Bought these from Amazon and cut them up: Amazon.com
VHB tape on top and stock clip didn’t work but I found some Honda ones laying around that worked.

No, but the lowering links do help!Damn, that car looks good. The mud flappers too. Hopefully they lessened the vibration a bit!
Hey guys, just wanted to update this thread. Since nobody seems to make nice rock guards anymore, I took it upon myself to cut my own, shape them, and put my VT twist on em. I have sent a prototype to my manufacturer in California for mass production, so should have pricing ready soon for these
PROS:
NO Drilling
Uses double sided tape and factory push pin location
Matte Carbon wrap on body side / Textured ABS Plastic on Wheel Side
My set is 1/8" ABS Plastic, but the production version will be 1/16" (easier to bend to the body of the car):

The curves of the rock guards go great with the body/shape of the car, and are VERY easy on the eyes (unlike most rock guards/flaps I've seen).

Hey vipertoad, what is your experience with them hitting the road while running in the low suspension setting?
Nice, I'd love a set. Let me know how much. Seems like the other flaps by @M4H4X may be dead. He's been MIA a while now.Hey guys, just wanted to update this thread.

My car is pretty low, sitting on N2itive lowering links, -8/-9, only drive it on low, and they have never scraped.
To each their own, I'm good on the Rally armor / truck style square mud flaps lol, this isn't a WRX or offroad car.
I agree. They look nice but they need to block crap shooting up from the tire. You can round/shape that corner but I think it’s a bit aggressive and should come out to the corner more. Since it’s behind the tire I don’t think it impacts range. Negligible change in range on Model 3 or X with mudflaps that had a more square shape. I got the molded Chinese ones on both 3 and X.
These do look better than Tsportline CF ones that are a joke. These look like they would provide some protection. But not enough for some of us. Nobody really wants to put mudflaps, they do it for protection.

I don’t care for the Rally armor look either.
That’s why I like the molded type. They can get away with being more square without the truck style look.
Here are the “square” molded type on my X and you barely notice they are there.
One positive about MSM (and black, maybe blue too) is the mudflaps don’t scream at you. The black plastic on X/Y help too.
