I know, I know... sports cars are not supposed to have mud flaps. However my sports car gets a lot of track miles as well as trips to and fro the track on R-compound tires - read super sticky. The bodywork on the front fenders down low just behind the front tire was taking a beating, as in so many chips the bare metal was showing and surface rust had started. Keep in mind I have been touching up this area frequently but there was just no way to keep up with it.

Personally I find these debris winglets to be subtle, tasteful and effective. I just bought some big truck mud flaps made out of a rigid plastic, made up a bunch of paper templates till I found a shape that worked and then cut them out from the big truck flaps. Mounting was easy, I used the two existing screws that hold the inner plastic fender and then just added 3-aluminum pop rivets on the inner side.

These things really protect the paint on the front lower rocker arm.


Installation was a breeze

 

i think the flaps look good....[nice touch to include the fall leaf under the car...proof you live where flaps are a necessity ]

 

I put mudflaps on my Viper and they were tastefully done like yours. Nobody laughed.

 

Nicely done!
Form follows function !!!

 

Cool, can you show a pic that's bit more back from the car?

I recall someone putting on a set of universal mudflaps from autozone or a similar parts store and it looked like it was meant for the car.

 

How much wieght have you added?

 

How much aero drag too?

 

There doesn't appear to be adequate room for riveting one of those chrome nekked girl profile thingys.

 

Those would be more for the rear. Where there's a will, there's a way.

 

Doug, leave it to you to do a sweet job putting these things on.
