Default DIY mud flaps?

this is what happens when there is nothing on tv.....

so I went to Home Depot and picked up some of that vinyl floor molding stuff and attempted to make some small mudflaps to just protect the small section of paint that always gets munged up on the side of the car.

I dont think I am feeling the rear ones but the fronts will stay. I definitely think this can be improved upon, so this is not done yet. I just needed to take a breather in the AC for a bit. I think this is a great mod, we'll see how it holds up.

Here is some preliminary shots. Total cost: $4

Actually I agree the front look ok I just cant warm up to the rears, square or round doesn't matter.

Front looks good... make the rears match the shape of the bumper and you will be golden !
