    Red Mud Flaps for a more rally Look.

    I just got this a few days ago from Sparco USA, I think it gives it a much better rally look. I made my own wires for each Flap, so it wont hit the tires. What you guys think of it? I Loke the picture with the doors opened, it kinda reminds me of a bird or butterfly when it opens its wings and displays it's real colors.

    Go Costie Go!!!

    What'chya got there on the roof? Looks like a gas-powered long board. Or maybe a go-kart dragster?

    Ok, gotta go take the VX in for an early 90k service and brake fix.

    I've been thinking of putting some flaps on mine, not sure (from pics) if I would like the look or not.
    I would definitely go with black if I did, I personally just don't dig how that red stands out.
    It's YOUR rig though Costie, props on all the work you put in to it.

    Will you be rallying, by the way, or are you just going for "the look"?

    some bigger tires/wider tires would look better with the flaps i think,and i think the flaps fit in with the look/modding ur doing with ur vx.

    Sorry man... I'm with Crager. Don't think I've ever seen a WRC car with big, red, diesel truck mudflaps... but the only one you gotta please is you. Have at it!

    I do like the flaps, ever since I had seen the Jaos flaps. Looks real rally. Was going to pop on and off as needed based on mixed reactions though.

    I think they stand out a lot more on the ironman white- I am thinking they would be a little less pronounced on my astral? ie. white, black, red vs. silver, black, red. maybe ill do black flaps for a less pronounced look.

    More free advice worth exactly what you paid for it...maybe less:

    Do mods to your VX that suit YOU & your sense of what you want your truck to look like & to h3ll with what anybody else thinks!!!

    No worthwhile endeavor has ever been accomplished by worrying about what everyone else would think about it.

    We would still be living in caves were it not for those willing to think outside the box.(or cave, as the case may be)
