Wheels, not rims...

- CX-5 GT AWD w/ Tech, RX-8 GT 6spd w/ 'goodies'
The CX-5 seems to be a vehicle that is in need of real mud flaps. Plenty of dirt gets kicked up against the plastic trim, and often the door panels (especially in the rain). There is an OEM option which is very expensive and offers little protection. The Ebay/Alibaba Chinese mudflaps are cheaper, but still offer little protection. I have noticed a few chips on my doors from gravel/rocks kicked up by the front wheels. That's with urban driving, so I presume it would be much worse for those who travel on unpaved roads often.
Some may have heard of Rally Armor mud flaps. They offer REAL DEAL rally spec mud flaps for a variety of cars. From Evo's, STi's, to MS3's. Yes, I know they're not aesthetically pleasing, but they work. Unfortunately they do not have a custom fit kit for the CX-5 (YET). Choosing one of their universal kits would require drilling or custom brackets.
I have contacted Rally Armor, and apparently they are too focused on other vehicle application developments for now and "will consider the CX-5" pending "market evaluation with NO GUARANTEES". What I'm trying to do is get a few forum members who are interested in some real mud flaps to send them an email displaying our interest.
Those who think these are "ugly/cheap/unnecessary" have no reason to rant in here. We get it, they're not the fanciest nor the best looking.
