    Mud Flaps

    Got really lucky and found these bad boys at the scrap yard.
    They fit like a glove. However after mounting I realized my car is way to low to rock these. Basically I am trying to weigh my options, do I sell, or cut, etc..

    btw raising the car is not an option..

    Thank you all..and God bless..

          Drive as is, it will shave off the rubber and make a perfect fit....

              I agree 1000% about the rubber bands, I'm running 195/45/16. What do you guys suggest? Thanks all for the help!

                That's a tiny tire. The popular "stance" size would be 205/45/16 but I prefer a 205/50/16 which is the proper height for the car.

                  Sell them to me first! I'm closest so shipping would be cheapest! Depending where you are, I can drive over so you can see the car they'll go onto ;)

                            If you are still looking for what the hardware looks like, I found another post with the installation instructions that has some very good images and shows the step by step installation process. I don't recall where I found this but I can scan and document and share if that would help.

                            I too need almost all the hardware for the rear flaps on my '86 so if anyone knows where this hardware can be found, please let me know.

                              Interestingly enough I bought a full NIB set (f&r) with hardware still in the sealed bags and I will be trying to duplicate the rear hardware for my other set.

                              Pics will be in one or both of my threads eventually...and I found those instructions too. Thx
