*3.31.21 edit* Just sold my last set. Unless there are 4 + confirmed people interested in getting flaps made, I'll just lose money at this point making any more.
This is incredibly long time coming, and although I knew this was the case going into this, there is a very good reason why no one has made reproductions yet. Making these mudflaps is truly a labor of love. Expensive, labor intensive, and only medium results.
I only have 4 sets for sale for now. In my first go at it, I made 6 sets successfully (quite a few failures), but I promised bluebmw 2 sets for the originals he let me borrow (for a long time).
I have attached photos of the four sets because they're all a little different. They are kind of works of "art" because they are so inconsistent.
The main differences are that A and B are internally reinforced by 1cmx1cm wire netting. This is because the material I use gets a little floppy in the sun and the netting was what I could think of to reinforce the mudflaps. The downside is they are significantly less pretty (although I tried to make the metal show up only in the areas that aren't visible.)
Sets C and D are not reinforced. There isn't random pieces of metal sticking out of them and they're easier to make.
I'm calling this a Beta test because I would like whoever buys a set to give an honest review on this thread. If the reviews come back that you guys were all pretty unhappy with them, I'll just stop making them. I'll also base the decision of whether to make them reinforced or not base on your feedback.
I'm going to be truthful here: they are not the prettiest things in the world, and they aren't cheap. Also, I am not including any hardware for the flaps, so you have to figure out your own way of attaching them to your car. I did create 3d files of the hardware to my best ability, see enclosed pdfs.
Leave a message on this thread saying which one you want. This is a first come first serve dealio.
Sets A and B are $140, C is $115 and D is $95. One side of D is slightly underfilled and has more bubbles than the others in the most visible part of the flap, the "BMW" area.
