    Has anoyne tried these? The company that makes them is in the UK. They are made from 3MM Colourfast PVC which I thought was strange, but what do I know. I E-mailed the guy and he can make them from rally-spec 'Kaylan' but I don't know what that is.

    I've been hutning for some blue Urethane or PVC 4-5mm thick to make my own, but I'm coming up short.

    **EDIT** Well, I just bought 'em so I'll let you know 1st hand when they get here.

    I've seen these on a car before. They do look good.
    I have the prodrive mudflaps from Rallysportdirect.com I love them! I believe they are made of the same thing. They hold up well but do fade a bit.

    I got em on, and they're cool, but...

    I am going to get a set of them made from Kaylan - which is a much tougher plastic. I may use these to get some rule dies made, so I can make my own... I'm also trying to source the Kaylan sheets so I can make them myself. The design is decent, the PVC is too "flappy" though, and the rear flaps aren't as aggressive as the front, so I will re-design them a little.

    I plan on making some prototypes out of semi truck flaps, so I'll keep you posted.
