Default Would you consider mini splash guards on your RC?

Just exploring an idea to help stop the puddle splash.
These would be installed with very little showing, just enough to block the splash.

The image on the bottom has the splash guards (Click for full size)

I would as well, for the small sacrifice in lines.......I get dirt kicked up on my door and read well from driving to the gym and back on a once day and I'm about to add a slightly wider rim/tire set which will not help

So I'm confused.......are these available or not? I am constantly getting dirt kicked up from tires like the other poster from just driving around the block grrrrrrrr I'm going to add a clear bra protected on the adages of the wheel wells but would do the splash guards as well.

Yes they are available, they are universal and inexpensive.

i think this would look and maybe fit better for our RC...

someone on CT200 Forum bought this and colored it also.. and i think this looks way better than the universal rally mud flaps

I agree, however they are not yet available for our model. They must be a good fit around the sculpted shape of our car. And will cost a lot more after paint match.

I'd get these in a heart beat, and of course they must be color matched.
