lets get some iX mudflaps made. Who can help?

Haven't been here for a while. Glad to see this is moving along with some positive results!

Free set of flaps for OP? ;D

[Ryan1642]

they really need to be rubber for the flexibility aspect.

I dont see why they need to be rubber, besides a slight drop in aerodynamic efficiency. I actually think a flap that looks more like a part of the skirts would be better. What's everyone else think?

[audiquattrot]

with fiberglass flaps, wouldn't chunks come off as rocks hit them? They would get a lot of road debris/abuse

[z122643]

You need rubber. They have to absorb road debris, whereas fiberglass will chip when hit over time.

We have not heard from the member who was suppose to be sending us a set. Anyone else got one?

What about using the Urathane that you can buy for your windows. 20 bucks gets you a tube of it.. squirt it into a mold, Vioala!

... I'm sorry if you already have a solution, I read the first couple pages then skipped to the end.

those flaps would prob rip right off in 7ft of snow tho

I've worked with these guys before (mainly to do 3dprinting), but they do cast urethane molding and they basically do exactly what you guys are looking to do. They 3dprint a part, make a mold using it, and then make casted urethane parts using the mold. They're also pretty fast...Might be worth a call to describe the project and getting a quote from them:

Progress?

[TehRaydarlover]

This was a few weeks ago. Scanning them at work with a colleague. It was getting late so we decided to pick it up the following week but I got put on field service and haven't been back at the shop to finish it.

That's awesome so we may actually see bmw replica ix mud flaps. Any idea on what the cost may be per set?

[z122643]

My god... it's happening!

if you don't mind posting the model or cloud when it's done, someone can punch out a mould if you don't have the time.
