Got my new 2013 wrx in the middle of the winter and needed a set of mudflaps to help protect the paint. espically the rear of the car, it was getting dirty within minutes of being clean. So i decided to get the UR rally armor flaps.
Let me start out with the things that i like about them. First they look great and form the back of the car it really gives the appearance of the car being wider and more agressive stance. They also do a great job at protecting the paint and keeps the rear much more clean. Finally the last thing i liked about them is it was not to hard to put on. I suggest doing a search for how to put on these flaps. Once you figure how to do the first one the rest are fairly easy.
Now the cons. I would love to say more great things about them but one broke off the car only having it on for about three weeks. It actually tore the plastic off the bumper where the bolts attached. Also the flap sliced from the mounting hole to the side leaving no way of remounting without repair or a new flap. What happened was i was backing up at night and accidently hit some snow that was on the side of the driveway going about 1 mph. Although it was my fault the fact that the flap broke so easy made me think twice about these. My dad said in his 62 years he never seen a mud flap brake off a car or truck. But ralley armor was willing to sell a new flap and hardware which was great. But they do not warranty anything if its not a factory defect.
All in all the flaps are good. But for 159 dollars i would expect a little more durability. But since they look so good and protect great i can overlook that fact a little. Overall they good so far but i have only had them during the winter. Not sure how they would work in the summer on a dirt road but i am hoping they can stand up better then they have so far. They do have a warning on their website about how they damage but i didnt see that since i bought them for tirerack.
