Group Buy: Fastline Rally Mud Flaps [b]FLAPS NOW HERE![/b]

I am taking over this post. ~Justin (Holy~Shazbot! He really hijacked my post!)

The winter season is coming and if we all want to preserve our horrid subaru paint this is what you need. We will be going with the Fastline product as the have the best price and an UNLIMITED LIFETIME warranty. Below is the email i received from them regarding price. I will need to know what type of car its for and also sedan or wagon.

Email back from Fastline:



..."10 + sets can do for $89.95 ea. plus shipping which is $12.25 a set if I
drop ship to ea. person buying if all flaps go to 1 place it will be
what ever the shipping charge is for the size and weight of the package (s).

mudflaps are $109.95 and right now they are on sale at $99.95 so the
discount may not seem like alot but I do warrenty all mudflaps for life
that's why I can not give a huge discount. This is what I give all
clubs and forums gourps that do group buys."...

i think im gona make my own, i know thats what rich did and he said he like them quite a bit

I got mine from here http://www.rallylights.com/Rally/mud_flap.asp

i've had the rallyarmor flaps for a couple months and like them overall. I'm waiting for winter to see if they're too aggressive, but so far so good. Only problem is they rub pavement under very hard cornering :shock: so now they've got that roughly sanded look with bits hanging off... ymmv depending on suspension. maybe try some out first and make sure you want 'em. on the plus side they double as curb feelers for parallel parking in reverse. lol
took me a second to figure out what that noise was.

 

hehe. every time someone bitches about curbing a rim I mention them. They make a gawd-awful noise when you scrape the curb.

 

I need them too......anyone selling them locally? Those rally armor ones look nice, but I don't see any sort of warranty for 'em. Fastline has a lifetime warranty...which makes it hard to beat.

$100 is a lot of dough for mudflaps...but I guess that beats having gravel/sand/snow shot-up along side the fenders and doors. I get some strange rock chips on the leading edge of my doors. Kinda makes you wonder how it was possible.

 

i need them to. how about a group buy from rallyarmor??? any takers?

 

See if we can get a deal...I'm in! For sure! But find out what if rally armor uses stainless fasteners....that would suck to have'em rusty by spring.

 

why dont you give rallyarmor a call to see what discount they will give or for 5,10,15 sets

 

It looks like the fastlines stick out even farther than the rallyarmors. Lifetime warranty sounds great, but honestly it is just a hunk of plastic. I suppose if you are actually rallying with them... otherwise if you are doing anything that cracks it chances are the flap is the least of your worries.

 

imo it's mud+gravel... as you turn with caked up treads it roostertails back up..

 

Anyone know how hard it would be to make the RallyArmor ones fit on a Forester?

 

i might be down for some if we got a big group buy together.

 

let me call rally armor....wait for posting...

 

i like the bigger fatline flaps. i just think they will provide more protection. my door is already chipped to pieces along the bottom. it looks nasty, i think i will use flaps for winter/ofroad driving and take em of in teh summer.

i would be in for a group buy.

 

i emailed rally armor and fastline...details coming soon.

I will post the rally armor email when i receive it, then we can pick one of them if we are interested.

 

I gotta slow down in the corners then ......but maybe the mudflaps will take care of that.

Waiting to hear what rallyarmor has to say.

 

you're a funny man :lol:

 

i like the idea of a warranty . do the fastline come w/ stainless mouting stuff? this Group Buy is T3h w1nz0rs

 

Ok. I received the email from rally armor.

"Hi Justin,

Thank you for reaching out to us. We would be interested in knowing
what the final count for your group buy would be. We consider 20 to be
a minimum for a group buy and a per/flap discount but would still be
willing to work with you to discount your shipping/handling costs
should you have less than 20 buyers. Let us know how you'd like to
proceed.

Best regards,

The Rally Armor Team"




Which ones shall it be?

 

what are the base prices for rally armor

 

base price for rally armor is 90, fastline is 109. We would be able to get the rally armor's cheaper however they do not come with a lifetime warranty..i dont think. I guess after hearing the respones on this thread..my vote is fastline.

 

I would be interested. I have to many rock chips as it is, I would like to prevent any more if possible.

 

i say fastline. i saw Brians and they looks cool! (were those the wagon specfic ones?) whats the diff between wagon specific and normal?

 

If any of you guys saw my mudflaps on the duluth trip, they are fastlines.

 

I should've looked when I was buying parts from you!

I'm in for a set of Fastline (Wagon) mudflaps!

How many more people do we need? How is the ordering process going to be? Are we doing individual orders with us mentioning that we are from mnsubaru.com or are we placing an order as a group?

 

dont worry about that, i'll take care of it all. I saw brian's flaps at bp subaru tonight...they look really nice. i'll start the list. i'm taking over the first post.

 

double post....

ok i started the list of ppl who said they are in. who else is in? if your name is on the list but you dont want to, let me know.

 

Put me on the list-
'05 STI Mud Flaps"

 

I'll take a set. '04 wrx sedan.

 

Group Buy: Fastline Rally Mud Flaps

Sorry guys I will have to pass this time, the funds are to low right now.

 

I think those Rally Armor flaps look better, but only if I can get the blue logo on a GC8 set (that combination isn't listed on their website; sent 'em an email)


Count me as a "*TENTATIVE* in".
- rskm1, 2000 RS coupe, BLACK mudflaps. *CONDITIONAL ON RALLYARMOR RESPONSE*


If fastline's diamondplate aluminum rally floormats will fit pre-02 GC8s and they'll do a shipping discount by sending them along with the big mudflap order, count me as a *DEFINITE* for a full set of the floormats.

Not sure how "group payment" is going to work, but I'd be willing to Paypal or Pers.Check up-front, *IF* someone reputable like a board admin is collecting the money.

 

RSKM1: i am currently using WRX flor mats in my Lx. they dont fit perfectly, but they do fit quite well. i can take a pic if you want

Brian: i was thinkign on a similar line of thought. we can put whatever stickers we want on the fastline mud flaps. so you could do the trucker girl sticker, or mn subie stickers (might need to be smaller to fit)

 

yes, i will be collecting the money. best would be paypal, but you will have to had 3%, or you can just write me a check. I will need the cash before we order. I will let you guys know when that is.

 

UPDATE: Got a reply from RallyArmor; they have no plans to do a run of GC8 in blue and they can't do custom one-offs. SO: Upgrade me to a "definite in" on the fastline group-buy:

- rskm1, 2000 RS coupe, BLACK mudflaps.


|EDIT:
| P.S. Regarding the floormats. Hmm, from the pics Dynapar posted, the shapes do differ enough to worry about... But there's no sense trying to make 02+ aluminum floormats fit in a GC8 anyway; there are plenty of correct GC8-specific ones available, just searching ebay & froogle.com (for under $100 including shipping-- e.g. www.thehodgepodgestore.com)

 

hey Justin, add me

 

I'm in.

Add me to the list. I have a GC8 ('99 2.5RS) and would like them in black.
BTW this is the same PowerLabs from NASIOC

 

Do we have 10 people yet? I'd like to have them before snow hits the ground.

 

Remove me... I've decided to make my own.
