No one has a hook up? What about ikea? I've read about people making some from some sort of material from ikea.

I've used McMaster for other stuff and have been very happy with their pricing and quick order processing.

I use UHMW-PE on the rally car. 1/4" thick for the under carriage is bullet proof. 1/8" for mudflaps and wheel well liners.

comes in white and black. I get it from http://www.iplasticsupply.com/

I used ⅛" Vinyl from Tap Plastics. It comes on a 12" wide roll so I made my rear flaps 15"x12" (Fronts 15"x7"). Very durable, stiff enough to be effective yet still floppy so they don't break.
