Putting cosmetic items on your car which borrow styling for race vehicles is not anything new. The majority of people installing front splitters, rear wings, and other aero components aren’t doing it for the aero benefits. They’re doing it for the looks. Many of the best modern rally cars are based on economy focused hatchbacks (Focus, Fiesta, Veloster, Civic, GTI, etc.), and with that, rally-inspired cosmetic items have become extremely popular, with mud flaps being one of the most popular items. Of course, mud flaps aren’t just for cosmetics, as they will help protect your paint for damage. With the FK8 Civic Type R exploding in popularity, it was only a matter of time until Rally Armor released their mud flaps for the FK8.
Unlike the cheaper mud flaps on the market, the Rally Armor mud flaps are made from Polyurethane. Why is this important? Well, the flaps are going to be pounded my rocks, curbs, road goo, and scrape the ground occasionally. All this abuse is on top of being constantly exposed to the elements. A lower quality material would end up getting hard over time and falling apart. Polyurethane won’t have this problem, as it will stay flexible and strong for very long periods of time.
On top of being constructed from a very high-quality material. The kit is designed to be installed with zero drilling and zero modification to the fender liners. The hardware kits, flaps, and mounting brackets are unique to your car. No guesswork, no sticker appliques, no skimping on the details. After all, who wants to install something universal with questionable on their brand new FK8? It should be noted these mud flaps WILL NOT FIT base or SI models. It is specifically designed for the FK8 Type R.
