OBS Splash Guards + Rally Armor Mud Flaps

simonbsays · 10-12-2009, 12:38 PM

Anyone else install OBS splash guards together with Rally Armors? I've had the OBS guards on my wagon for a while and really liked how they looked. Coverage was minimal though, so I wanted Rally Armors but didn't like how they look. So I decided to smooth things out by going with both.

What do you guys think? I like em...

Some modification to the front OBS (Outback Sport) splash guards were done (dremeled out a piece that sticks out, causing the flap to be pushed un-evenly forward). On the rear, the spacer that the RAs came with was not long enough for a straight mount. I ended up drilling a new hole in the RA flaps and screwing it directly into the OBS guard. More pics later.

Its a interesting look, but I think it should be one or the other. Plus with the splash guard doesn't that kind of kill the flexibility of the mud flap?

looks nice, from what I can see.... can you get a complete rear end shot so we can see what it looks like from behind.

Yea, it's pretty stiff. But I got the basic mud flap, so it's not very flexible anyway. I thought about the UR version, but having driven behind a few WRX's w/ them, they floppy and flickery... I didn't like it.

Yes, I'll definitely be taking better pics later this evening. That was just a quick cell phone pic on my way into work

It's different. It's not horrible looking.

I think they look really nice actually.

Looks good! I'm about to do the same on my WRX sedan with cut OEM RS splashguards and RA UR flaps. I was wondering if anyone else had done similar. Thanks for posting pics.
