as long as you plan on actually taking your car in the dirt, and using the mudflaps for what they were intended for, then i wont make fun of the red ones.
i never liked rally armor, they dont go up high enough, they stop at the mid point of the wheel. They should go up a little higher, especially in the front where the wheel will be turned and scratches will be made.
plus rally armors are super stiff, and wouldnt be suprised if they cracked in the cold if you ever bottom out
oh yeah and they are super expensive, you can make your own for $40 and even thats a lot

i bought the $40 ones from rallyarmor and they're great, but too low as others have mentioned. easy fix though, just punch holes in them yourself and move them up.
I love my Rally Armors! They should fit on your car with no issues...
red flaps arent my style though... if I actually rallied the **** out of my car id smash them, but i wanted my flaps to be discrete and not bling so i went with the flat black rally armor ones with the black logo and love it.

They're pretty thin compared to the $100 offerings. The look is sorta plasticky and they're holding up very well to all the scraping. Definitely need to raise the rear, currently maybe 2" off the ground, lol.

Go to IKEA.
Get four 2 packs of LDPE cutting boards...come in white, blue, or red.
Cost is less than $10.
Cut the boards into any shape you desire & mount to car.
Yes, I have done this.

I just put on a set of the Basics; I wish they came up higher, too, but they work pretty well. I'm pretty low, and they scrape on everyting, but becuase they'r flexible, it doens't concern me, and they're a better choice than the nicer RA flaps for that reason.......you don't need flat boards, you need somethig that deflects rocks and sand, etc, and they'll do that nicely.
Plus, if you decide to roll your own later, and cut a different shape, make it higher, narrower, wider, etc, you've got a template and you've already got the hardware in place to just screw them in. Not bad for $45. Order an offset screwdriver, it makes the job a lot easier and you don't have to yank the wheels or jack up the car.
