Mudflap material?

I sure as shit am not paying $100 for some mudflaps, so what are some options out there? Can I just call TAP plastics and have them cut me some? What are you guys using?

I don't need WRC spec stuff because it's just for a rallycross car, but then again, I don't want stuff that'll rip a[art either. Looking for RED ones. smiling smiley

Go to a truck stop and buy white semi truck mudflaps. One truck mudflap makes two rally car mudflaps and they are only $9 a piece you cheap ass. You want red ? Hold your breath till you start seeing everything red.

I have had good results form trimmed down pickup truck mudflaps purchased from the local Advance Auto. Similar price of about $9 a pair.

I got a defect roll for free from here: http://www.argonics.com/
Since they're kinda local to me. This stuff is indestructable. They line mine hoppers with it and stuff.
Other than that I've used truck flaps, its always fun having big flaps that say Chevy or Dodge on a vw. And for the past 5 years on my street/rallyx car I've been using some flaps that I cut up out of roll-up plastic sleds.

$9 ???

I just kept an eagle eye out until I found one on the side of the highway. Cost: NUTHIN'. Well, okay maybe 15 cents in gas for pulling off at the next exit and doubling back twice. BFD.

Ever since that first one, I've been finding more and more. It's almost an obsession.
