**CumminsCrazed** · 11-19-2009, 03:45 PM

ok guys, so i decided to do a little paint protection with my truck this summer, so i went and bought everything id need. I finally got around to working on it all and of some pics of my current progress. So far only the rear has been done, i will be doing some custom plasma cutting and fabricating for front side. Heres some pics.

Last night @ the shop after having too many beers and getting rear done

About 10 min ago after cleaning up stainless and cleaning rubber

Not too bad for beering it up as far as evenness goes!

Pass.

Like i said, fronts will be done tonight and will have pics up as i go along. Front 2nd gen inner fenders are a ***** and a half with the protruding plastic.

What about radius`ing the rubber so it matches the shape of the stainless bit?

Just a suggestion, but I think it would make for a more finished look.

I did this on my car about 5 or 6 months ago. I bought 1 (can`t remember the size) huge plastic flap from a truck stop and cut out 4 mudflaps out of it and mounted them on my car. I did it cause I liked the look, come to find out they are awesome for not getting crap all over the sides. LOL They`re not as big as yours but considering the size that you can buy for the scion, these are huge. I have drug them so they`re not as long as they were but I still love the way it looks.

ok cool, front flap pics are uploading as i type this

**CumminsCrazed** · 11-21-2009, 05:33 PM

ok guys, heres pics of the fronts finished. I took everyones advice, rounded the edges around the weights and shortened the bolt on the backside of the weights on the bottom of all 4 flaps.

Heres pics.

Pass.

Notice! No more long bolts on bottoms of mud flaps (next 4-5 pics)

Let me know what you guys think and if theres anything else i can do that would improve how the look and perform!

Nice flaps, but what about the rust?

**CumminsCrazed** · 11-21-2009, 06:47 PM

its getting fixed asap. already fixed drives door

I`m just adding a little constructive criticism here, so dont be offended. Those mudflaps work great for keeping debris and rocks off your paint, but they just dont look all that great. It makes your otherwise clean truck look " cluttered" and bulky. I`d ditch them in favor of some simple 3M protection on the rockers.

as someone that drives a lowered car i appreciate you using flaps on your truck. i had my last cars windshield cracked by a lifted truck that cut me off and just happened to toss a rock up at my windshield
