Great job on the perfect camera angles for each set up. I definitely prefer the small setting, but even at the large setting, they're still not as gaudy as the RA ones.

Thanks! I thought it makes sense to have steady shots since the differences can be subtle

Nice - lookin great. I like the small look. Well done man.

I'm glad you like the small config, Thawk

The ABS plastic has been ordered on Thursday, could've been here yesterday (Friday) but the cutter called in sick, so I won't be able to pick them up until Tuesday. I was thinking of spending the 3-day weekend working on them, but I guess it couldn't be helped . I'll try my best to stick to my timeline, but I'll let you know if I'm delayed. (It won't be too long if that's the case TBH... hopefully...)

Meanwhile I got some tools and scraps of ABS sheets that I can practice cutting, drilling and sanding around with. Hopefully that'll speed up when I work on the real ones.

Meanwhile, was out and about today and found an STI rocking the Rally Armor. First time for me to really pay attention to these flaps after watching install videos of it on YouTube. I secretly <_< felt the material and definitely theirs is a much more rubberized material, something that felt closer to a tire than a car panel material. Either this car/flap has gone through some sh*t or the owner could care less about doing a pleasing-to-the-eye install.

Taken with a camera phone without a tripod, so I couldn't stage a 1-to-1 composition, sorry.

The small looks great. I added my name to the list.

I like the smaller set! I don't like how big the rally armor looks on our cars. Added my name to the list!

I'm starting to work on them, guys. Sorry for the radio silence... I've received the shipment of ABS and they've been cut to my specific measurements at the shop. I still have to do bit of cutting for the side residing in the inner wheel wells and also rounding some corners for a better look. I'm sorting those out now. Man, nothing motorized play nice with ABS. May have to resort 85% of the work by hand to meet my desired outcome.

It has a more rubberized feel because they are made from polyurethane.

@Thawk what do you think? Slim enough for you? If so, this will be the smallest config now officially. The previous medium will be the new large.


Please tell me that no1 is gonna be bothered by that small diagonal cut up top...

Looks great! Top part doesn't bother me at all. Ready to purchase!

I was thinking about these on my drive to work this morning. So many little pebbles could be heard smacking the sides of the car *cringe*. All on paved roads but in the boonies enough to get more pebbles than a city road. *cringes more* lol Do I need to put what size I'd like on the google sheet? I remember putting my name down though a while back

*Edit: I looked at the sheet. Will there be a column to notify of what size we'd like?

I’m either blind or I need more coffee... but what do you mean “small diagonal cut up top”. I don’t think I’m seeing it...

If you're not seeing it, I'll take it as a good sign lol.

You don't need to put size, thus the adjustability of my rock guards. Tuck them in when you drive normally, flair them out when you want more protection (autocross, race track, etc.)

ohhh...I knew that -_- heh now I'm the one that needs more coffee
