    If someone has a pair, at this point, I'm willing to shell out the money to try to get it made. I think I could mold it, if not, I'd send it out for some professionals. By my guesstimation, using the methods/materials I'm thinking of, I think it could make sense at ~$120-150 a pair if I make 20. They won't look as good as the original, but they should do well. Also, some of you all are talking about 3d printing them, and I don't think that's a good idea at all...3d printed materials are just not going to withstand outside use.

    If someone is willing to let me borrow their for a month (hopefully less), I would love to give it a shot. I could give them a deposit of some sort as a symbol of good faith.

      I have seen over the years on this thread that people have scanned the front mud flaps. WHERE ARE THE SCANS! Can someone make the scans available so we all have at least a small chance in hell in making these?

      pretty please cherry on top...

        Anyone have input on the hardware for the front mudflaps? I can't seem to find a part number, or even a clear picture showing what they look like. From my search, it looks like they aren't that different from the regular front e30 mudflaps, which I also can't seem to find available online...

        I'm working on calculating the cost per part right now, waiting for a fellow r3v to send me the flaps, but if I'm successful, I'm still gonna need to get some hardware to kit with the flaps for people to be able to get them on their cars.

            I couldn't get anyone to send me their flaps, but it would be great if you had photos of the hardware so I could see what it looks like.

            I'm still pretty sure I can mold these (not perfectly, but reasonably so) if I had a set, but I don't have any to try.

                    I'm still in if anyone ever actually builds something. It's the one set of parts I just can't find.

                      I think I've come across 3 sets in the past 4 years. So they're not impossible to find, but they definitely are a unicorn piece.
