local place to buy urethane sheets

When I lowered my car, I also shortened my front mudflaps. I'm thinking about raising it back up and need to find some place local that sells urethane sheets so I can try and color match to my flaps and cut out longer ones. can anyone think of a place that would have what I need?

 

PM Gridlocked, he was looking into this and had a lead on some material that looked very interesting.

 

I was just starting to look into this, would like to copy a set i have. if I find any thing I will post it up.

 

Yea let me know guys. I don't want to pay +$100 for a new set but I also don't want to order some blank squares online and not have them match my rears (I'm a closet ricer like that)

 

hey i'm in on this! maybe we can go in on bigger sheets and save even more money. and one day maybe mnsubaru logo mudflaps!

 

+eleventy

 

tell me which day.
I would need to know a size. (of text)

this is a great idea.
we just need an oiled base paint that will stick to said sheets.

 

or we could just stick the mnsubaru stickers on the flaps. the sti on my flaps is just a sticker

 

I am guessing phi11's way would last longer and hold up better in the different elements.

 

ya, I could do both, stickers or paint....
(just not both at the sametime)

 

anyone had any luck in finding any place?

 

seriously, if someone finds something i might be game as well...did Colin have a line on this stuff?

 

Hey kids,

I am looking into a 3-4mm blue urethane sheet - the same stuff that Prodrive uses... I got a really "floppy" set from Europe which have a fairly good design, but I want to tweak it a little and make them more aggressive. I got a sample of a plastic called Kaylan from the guy from europe that I want to find here. My secretary used to work at a plastics joint in Bloomington. I am still trying to source the stuff. I will probably try to cut them by hand, but if the demand is right, I can get one of my vendors to make a rule die to produce a perfect finished product.

For our rally car, we went to Napa and got some semi truck mudflaps and cut them with a sawzall. They were UBER stout, and function based so it didn't matter what they look like.

I will light a fire and see what I can do to source this Kaylan stuff, or something like it. I thought about getting 4 MNSubaru stickers for the next set and putting those on the bottoms. The subaru logo that is on this set is a bit too big.

I will keep you posted.

 

those look very similar to the ones I have now (purchased from scoobyworld)

 

I saw this sample a little while back. It looks like the perfect material for this.

 

Looked a little. Kaylan is the brand name for polyurethane products made by Kay-Dee Engineering in the UK. So it'll probably be hard to locate "Kaylan" in the USA, but a similar polyurethane shouldn't be too tought to find locally.

I know there's a local place that sells 4'x8' sheets of HDPE and UHMW, I wouldn't be surprised if they carried polyurethane sheets too, but I don't recall why they are.

 

I'm looking into it too. searching through globalspec, matweb, and thomas.net right now

I am not sure if anyone got anywhere on this thread.... but I am looking to buy a sheet of floppy material. I really love the flaps that Ted made for me, but I need more flexibility for the driveway at the cabin. Did anyone find a good hook-up on a location that sells urethane? I sent a few emails out and on my Google search I stumbled across the MNSubaru thread. If anyone has a hook-up please shoot me a PM. I figure I can make a set for under $50 instead of buying them from Rally Armor for almost triple that. Anyways let me know.
