Are you talking about the ones on newscionparts.com? Because those flaps are from the Rumion, just like the wind deflectors that you made a big stink about.

 

yeah those are all made for the Rumion.. but they fit the xB ...

 

& they are painted to match.... I wonder if the Rumion comes in Nautical Blue Metallic??? jh

 

well you could always get it not painted and have them paint it when you get it here..? i guess the dealship would paint it for you.. if your willing to pay the money

 

do wind deflectors keep dirt and rocks off the side fo the car like mud flaps. duh

 

Wow, you totally missed my point.

 

no I think you did

 

Fellas, I am looking to put on a set of mud flaps and actually DO NOT want the paint matched ones from Rumion. I kind of like the look of cheapo/semi-flexible/black mud flaps. Like the ones pictured here on my sweet Toyota truck (yard debris & dirt bike hauler). I want something like this but shorter. JimmBomb, I would actually like to see more pics of the ones you did to get an idea how they look. With the DF210 springs, I will have them scraping but that is okay.

 

ok but you'll have to wait probally till tommmorrow for some new pics..... jh

 

Jimmbomb, forget about the pics. Just tell me what kind you put on.

 

ok I got them from O'Rieleys (sp?) for 11 bucks... O'Reileys is a chain Auto parts store like AutoZone, Advanced Auto parts, Pep Boys, etc.. they are a thick stiff rubber with NO holes pre-drilled.. I just held them up to when i wanted them then mashed hard onto the existing screw heads to make an impression on the rubber... Then pull it off, & marked that impression with a ink pe.n.. Stacked both of them together & drilled holes... good to go... i still havent found an alternative that I can live with yet at a decent price. so these are staying on till then.. Still too cold & crappy to go & take pics... sorry... I hate the cold weather.. just hate it!!! jh

 

If that's the problem, maybe driving around a dairy farm isn't a good thing

 

Finally got it done yesterday. Got all four flaps for $9.98. Added 8 new SMALL holes to my wheel wells. And they are on. With the low cost and small amount of holes I can just take them off later if I hate them. Just sick of all the tar and lane stripe paint on my car.

 

i was wondering where did u go to buy those mud flaps? Is it for a specific car and you customized it or is it a universal one?

 

you can get them at ANY auto parts store... & take them off when a better more affordable alternative comes along... Still paintently waiting for window vent visors!!!! jh
