Got my flaps on today...
I was kind of fond of the look from the start but I was far more interested in ending the WWIII sound coming from under my car when driving down my road. The car just threw too much s*** up on the paint. I ordered the UR flaps and although I'm not 100% convinced they should run $120, I am 100% convinced they are good quality and come with good instructions and mounting hardware. The fronts couldn't have been easier, once I read the instructions a few times it took me a whopping 15 min a side to get them on. The rear on the other hand were a pain in the ass because I didn't want to remove the rear wheels. They were no easy in the slightest and frustrated the s*** out of me. I finally got them on but one clip isn't biting and the flap isn't begin held down tightly (something I have to contact Rallyarmor about) and the inside bracket puts a noticeable ripple in the flap when looking at it in the sun (they have a shiny finish which makes the ripple noticeable). I'll jack with the alignment later as it's still cold outside and I wanted these on for the crap I have to drive through.
What can I say, they're flaps...they do their job nicely. No more WWIII coming from under my car, the difference is instant and you'll be surprised and how much crap these things block.
