swissferdi is partially correct. the mudflaps are made out of ikea cutting boards. for $5 you can make ones for all 4 corners of the car. they've held up for almost a year and the only time i broke one was when i went to montana for christmas last year and one had a chunk break off at -15 degrees (cold and plastic aren't great friends). they work well for $5 and look ok and i figure its a cheap alternative to spending around $70 for real rally mudflaps.

Sweeettt budget racing at it's best right there. Ikea Cutting boards??? Did u just bolt them in the same spots as the factory mud claps?

And one more question: What's the wear-n-tear been like on the car? Like are you breaking or replacing stuff every race?

there were some spots where the fender liners hook onto the fenders that you'll be able to use to attach themi highly recommend using cardboard templates to figure out the mounting on one side, then you will be able to mirror that for the other side. that way they will look straight. here is what they are:

as far as wear and tear, the car has been a champ. i haven't had to replace anything on it due to rallyx and when i've done the alignments (i do them myself at the dealership i work at) the car isn't that far off on the alignment angles. the car surprised the hell out of me the first time i drove it in competition. left foot braking is very effective with this car. i'm running bf goodrich traction t/a tires and they work very well as well as keep me in the street stock class, not to mention they are also reasonably priced. let me know if you have any more questions i can help you with.
