Rally Armor Mud Flaps

Anyone on here have the RallyArmor mudflaps on their R60? I saw a white R60 on Route 80 here in New Jersey with red ones mounted. Wonder if the person posts here or not.

Those who do, how easy were they to mount? What hardware did you need?

I had them on my 04 WRX and with my quest for mudflaps it's boiled down to the OEMs and these.

I have the universal UR Rally Armor mudflaps on my car. They are a little big so they need to be trimmed down a bit at the top to fit correctly. I used the OEM screws where applicable and added a few screws by drilling into the plastic/sheet metal. It ended up taking us a few hours to get the first one on and then we used that for the template for the 2nd one which took about 5 mins. The rears took about an hour total because you have to remove the wheels to drill the holes.

I don't have any install pics, but I have some pics of them after.

They do stick out a little bit in the back because of curve of the rear bumper.

I went down a bunch of dirt roads to test them out

The dirt on the doors is bc I went through puddles. The mudflaps did a great job of keeping the mud off the body of the car

looks good. thanks for the pics and mini-review. Did you have to trim both the front and rear? Would I be asking too much if you can take pics of where the bolts get mounted?

Yep, we did do both front and rear. We trimmed them to fit the curve of the wheel well better for both. In the rear you have to notch it out a little to fit under the frame rail.

I will try to get some pics tomorrow since the car is somewhat clean again.

I've got rally armor UR universals as well. Stock height no trimming, no drilling(of the car). They were dead simple to install, took about 30 minutes in total, wheels on.

Did you do the rears too? What did you do about the excess material that is in the wheel well? I didn't want crud getting trapped behind it which is why I trimmed them a little. I am a bit of a perfectionist and wanted to make sure they would stay in place so I added extra attachment points.

Don't mean to thread jack, but MSPRO...what wheels and tires are those including specs? They are sweet looking. Like the addition of the red accent to the side stripes.

I didn't do the rears, nothing can help the rears stay clean. The fronts are attached with 3 screws and a clip, not coming off. They form around the curve pretty well and a quick spray of water cleans them front and back. The excess material in the wheel well, well, is just that, excess material. Can't see it, can't do damage. Its plastic on plastic.

Thanks. They are actually Motegi MR118 17x8 +45 with 215/55/17 Firestone Winterforce tires.

Actually they do a pretty good job in the rears. They don't stop things such as fine particle dust or salt dust, but they stop with the thicker mud and junk. I wanted mine to sit a little lower than the factory flaps, so I didn't use the clips in the front, but I did use the screws. I didn't like the fact that stuff could get caked behind the excess material and potentially cause issues, that is the only reason I trimmed them. As I said, I can be kind of a perfectionist by nature

Nope it does not come with the hardware. I used stock bolts and some stainless #10 3/4-1" screws. I don't really like how they look b.c they are silver, so I am trying to find some screws that are more OEM looking.

Here are some pics. As Hoydi Cheng said you can use the factory clips in the front, but I wanted mine to hang lower so I mounted them below that point.

Front -You can see the factory clip just above the mudflap.

Rear - I also mounted these a bit lower than the factory ones. I made mine line up with the crack in the bumper below the rear reflector. It is hard to tell, but the wheel well is not as deep in the rear as in the front so I had to notch out the inner part of the flap to fit.

the screw pack that came with your license plates are great 'oem looking' screws. Also, on the JCW aero kit we don't have factory flap mount points.

Thanks for posting your pics and for talking through fitment and attachment options. I just added some rally armor mud flaps to my CM ALL4 S using the OEM attachments, which work great, except for the lower clip in the fronts. I cannot get them to stop popping back out of their mounting holes. Luckily the top ones seem to hold very securely. All the same, I would feel better about it if the lower clips also would hold securely. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Reviving an old thread hoping to get more pics and inputs.

I'm looking at getting the Rally Mspec ones for my JCW R60. First snow of the season has really taken it's toll on the JCW Aero side skirts. It's red so I'm want to quickly find their black with red writing.

Anyone got more to show???

Just installed these today. Used only factory anchor points except for the inner rear which attaches to the inner liner. No holes punched in metal/mouldings etc.
Overall, pretty happy with how they look.
