Rally Armors Mud Flaps for Model 3
- Thread starter Schmeltz318
- Start date
So the performance is 0.4" lower than a LR, and with the drop i am another 1.25",
So front I would have ~1.6" and the rear is a smidge higher so maybe ~1.85" before flap touches ground.... uh oh lol

3.5" of clearance in the front, 4.5" in the back (on my non-lowered 2019 LR DM Model 3 with 18" aero wheels).
The fronts bottom out on most speed bumps, but they are flexible so no damage (and I go over the speed bumps at my kid's school every day)
My issue with these is they look wrong for the car.
I took the cheap Amazon ones and trimmed the bottom off of them so they stopped fracturing when I hit a big bump. I am also lowered so they end up with a lot of contact in some situations until now. I use PPF to prevent them from rubbing on the paint.

I just ordered a set from RokBlokz, I had them on my Golf R and loved them. They just newly released flaps for the Model 3.

I wish the rokblokz came down slightly lower, came in a gloss black and were less rigid.. sounds like rally armor yes, but rally armor are a little too large out, and too long.
I used to run RallyArmor on my WRX and Legacy GT but that would be too ricer for a Tesla. So I got these
Already shorter than the RallyArmors so you don't need to cut or mod it at all. These work great for me.

After having a set of the Basenor flaps (aka generic Chinese flaps that are sold by many different brands), then using the TSolutions flaps for a while, I also moved to Rally Armor a month ago. The instructions sucked, and do did the way they are mounted and all the foam spacers they use. I didn't like how the tops of the brackets looked like they stuck out in the back. So I also modified them in the following ways:
Here is the back bracket and flap. Used black plastic spacers that come with TV mounts in order to support the top part of the brackets against the wheel liner.
- Painted the screws black
- Cut the J-hook part of the front brackets because it would run on the metal of the rocker and fender panels where it mounts
- Made the elongated holes in flaps longer to be able to mount them so they don't stick out as much.
- Drilled two holes in the upper part of all 4 brackets so that I can solidly mount them to the wheel liners

Rokblokz Mudflaps installed! It's pretty hard to get a decent pic of them but I tried.
Overall I love how they look and they are super eazy install!

This is the first I've ever heard of that brand of mud flaps, but I watched their installation video and really like how they mount to the car. If I didn't already have the Rally Armor flaps I would get the Rokblokz flaps.

This is a good discussion....unfortunately...for some of us running an aggressive offset wheel setup, some of the flaps that DON'T stick out enough will not work...

I have 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers and my Rally Armor flaps do an awesome job. And I even have my Rally Armors pushed all the way in.

Sounds good… I’ll be running a +22 mm offset on a 9.5 wide wheel which is about a 30mm spacer on both the front and the back… maybe this could work… I currently have some BS brand from Amazon that does a great job and has NOT scratched my car since I put them on 5 months ago

Wanted to follow up on this thread...Do the folks running the Rally Armors like them? I agree they can look too ricey for a Tesla but i ordered a set and was planning to trim them since im lowered.
For the people that installed them - do you see a reduction in spray from the road during wet days? Black car and lower offset wheels get the side of the car pretty dirty and want to reduce that.

I can't speak to Rally Armor mud flaps specifically because I have Rokblokz rally mud flaps, but they are very similar in size to Rally Armor's
There is definitely a noticeable reduction in wheel spray to the body

Ask and you shall receive. Couple of pics on my white M3P. I like them so much, I also bought/installed them on my wife’s brand new red MYP
Note, I got the “splash guard” version of the Rokblokz, which is a smaller profile/size than their “mud flap” rally style ones. The larger rally style ones are just too big IMO and draws too much attention to your mud flaps. OK if you like/want that type of look, but not my style. The smaller “splash guard” version is the perfect size, IMO. Fantastic coverage/splash protection while still being discreet and blending in with the vehicle. These are also great on lowered vehicles (my M3P is lowered about 1.5” below stock). Highly recommended!!
