Any pix of the RA flaps? I used their flaps on my WRX Wagon and my STi. I loved them. They were the first mod I did when I got those cars. Also, if you've installed them, mind sharing what you used for mounting them?

+1. I subscribed to this thread just to find out how you went about mounting the RA flaps and how hard it was.

i don't have the flaps on my car anymore. i had them on for 2 weeks then had to remove them when my winter tires started rubbing on the screws.
(i'm running blizzaks on 15"s)

So... perhaps don't go the sheet metal screw method. Got it.

I really want to get an extra set of stock arches and see if I can make a good looking set of 1 or 2 inch flared ones that fit like the stock pieces. I think that little extra flare would really "rally" up the MCS

Did anyone ever find out if 14" wheels where a possibility? Reason I ask is I found the perfect rally tire but they only have a 14" that will fit.

I tested two different 14" rims with 22mm (.866") and they rub the calipers. so no.

Test drive w the rears, still have some adjustments to do and I need to add the fronts. Mounted with 2 bolts to the liner per flap and I'll be adding one self tapping screw per side when I return home.

Excessive, but the rally look is growing on me, i'm ready for winter


Im pondering bringing in the rears more but i have spacers so they wouldn't cover the tires.
