Mud flaps and arches (1 Viewer)

[jay3253]

Okay, I want bigger mud flaps because the factory ones are not up to snuff in my opinion. I also want to extend just the lip of the arces about an inch or so, so that dirt and debris doesn't get on the body and cause damage. I would like some suggestions what plastic to use. I want to make the both from one piece of what ever I make it out of. Something like what is pictured only flat from the bottom about an inch or so. I have a buddy who has it on his 100 but I don't have pictures and his 100 is somewhere in Brazil.

I've seen those mud flaps but they are very expensive. I don't want fender flares, I just want a flat piece of plastic that will extend the lip out about an inch or so.

I am looking at yard edging like this. It's only $42 and I think it would be worth trying.

Take a look at EZ flares

There's dozens of available self adhesive strips that would do what you want. Just need to pick the profile you like. I would look for something already made with self adhesive double sided tape for ease of installation. I used the product similar to the link below for my UTV for this purpose because I wanted a wider profile. Fender Flares - https://ezlip.com/products/fender-flares I also added self tapping screws to install because it's a UTV and I just don't really care about the body of it. The material is more rubbery than hard plastic. Works well, stays pliable in very cold weather, and keeps a lot more mud off of me.

There's a million different shapes and profiles you can choose from if you look around at non-automotive uses and adapt to automotive depending on the look you want. Self adhesive water barriers for example:

I also use these on my UTV for additional mud protection. They're $25 for a pair and have a ton of coverage. Downside is that they are brittle when cold. I've broken one of them with relatively minor flex in sub zero temp loading it on the trailer.
