New rally armor mud flaps

[Oyster]

Has any one purchased and installed the fiesta specific flaps yet? I just ordered a set and was wondering what people's thoughts were.

Big thread on the topic here.

Even a board member or two was not used as fitment and pictures for website and installation guide.

Thanks for the link...... I don't understand what you mean by that last sentence.

Check the first post on the link I posted. That car is the car used in the instructions AND on the rally armor webpage. The owner of said car is a board member here.

Ok? I was just wondering if anybody had installed them after they were made available to the public. That thread started almost two months ago.

To answer your question . I love them ! The only "hard" part is choosing how you want your flaps (more in your car or sticking out more )And to make them even and straight .

Awesome! Thanks for the input.

I installed them right when they became available and I've had them on for maybe 2-3 weeks about. I love them, they look great and they were easy to install. However, I'm curious to see if anyone has had any issues yet? Mine seemed to come loose after a week (the upper most screws only, on the rears), I tightened them, but I feel like they will come loose again because of the way they are attatched. Also, some of the washers seemed to have warped, but I suspect I over tightened those ones and the surface behind those aren't completely flat. Also, the foam strips just won't hold up long I can tell you that. After years of mud, water, heat, flexing and shifting around, they will fall off.

In any case, I will keep an eye on them and see how well they hold up. I wish they didn't require so many extra bits. My Subaru Rally Armor mudflaps were so simple, just flaps and a few screws, I put them on and forgot about them. The ST ones are complex and I can see why they took so long to develop.

Good to know. My set should be arriving in the mail today.

He pointed you in the direction of the largest thread on the topic... Did you even work backwards in that thread?
