Boomerang Mud Flaps - Step 2

[Jack B]

In an earlier thread I posted about the need for a small unobtrusive front mud flap. On my own car after 2000 miles the paint was gone on the rocker inside the front wheelwell. Cars that have the corsa's (or any soft race tire) will experience the sand blast affect very early, just as mine did. Just a guess, non-corsa cars might go 10-15k before that area is a eyesore. I was tired of looking at the sand blasted area so I designed a set of mud flaps that almost disappear yet protect the high damage area inside the front wheelwell. As a side note, the design of the wheelwell and sill area is quite good as far as protecting the the painted surfaces near the wheelwell, it does not take too large of a mudflap to complete the protection.

After my post about a month ago, several people contacted me about buying a set. I do not plan on setting up a retail business, however, I have the capabilities to produce the mud flaps in quantity. If there is still enough interest and I can figure how to get these to market within the rules of the forum, I have tentative plans to produce a trial run of a 100 sets very soon. The cnc programing is finished and I am close to finalizing a price. I plan on making the first cnc set within two weeks.

The reason i named them the Boomerang Mud Flap is that they look like a small boomerang. The flaps are fastened with one of the oem torx screws. a second self tapping screw would be furnished with the kit. the mounting holes are enlarged or slotted so that the fit/look can be customized. The flaps go on/off so easy, they could easily be used at the track when the car has the soft compund tires and then taken off for the street, on the other hand, they are hardly noticeable.

I have to emphasize this is not a for-sure endeavor, but, if there is a large enough need I will try to make it work.

I'd be interested since I didn't source the right kind of polyurethane plastic sheets. Do they go high enough to stop the issue?

I don't have my car yet, but I'd be interested in a set.

[Rapidrezults]

I'd be interested.

[docwviper]

Me too

[bluesrt]

Me tooooo

I used the paint damage on my car as a guide for the size and placement. For some reason the paint damage does not rise that far above the sill. It would be easy to extend them upwards, however, they then become very visible.

that is the best scenario

I don't have my car yet, but I'd be interested in a set.

[05Commemorative]

interested

[SilveRT8]

Put me up for a set too

[sharmut]

Count me in for a set.

[darbgnik]

I'm in for a set. Only 1200 miles and my inner sills are peppered with the Corsas. Will they be close enough of a fit to work on the rears? Or any plans for the rears?

[dasvolk]

I would also be interested in a set of these.

Jack
count me in. Let me know on the pricing when finalized.

[swexlin]

I'm in as well, I think they look cool too.

[Nine Ball]

Definitely needed. I put clear bra on the insides of my painted fender lips on the 14, because the 13 got chewed up in there.

[Simms]

Great idea, and very subtle looking.

[cayenne]

Count me In

[bogdan]

This is a great idea, thanks planning this out!

I'd like a set as well

[ViperGeorge]

I'd be in for two sets.

[timberwolf]

I'm definitely in!

[Satin69]

I will take a set. Any chance of finding a similar to OEM self-tapping screw?

[mjorgensen]

Nice work Jack, you know I'll help you out if I can ;-)

[95BlackZ28]

Count me in for set. I had these on my Gen III and would love to keep the paint nice on my new expensive Gen V!!!
