Ralleyflapz (https://www.performancecreations.co....aps-2924-p.asp) look like they would do the job.
Any word out of @IND on a product?

I just ordered a set. I've used Rally Armor mud flaps on my EVO's and STI's but never from this company so it will be interesting to compare.

I'd post some pics of the rallyflapz but imgur on the iPad is fecking useless. Think I've sussed it.

Quality is good, I've got the kaylan ones, fitting is very easy. I've got an LBB car and you don't even notice them. Worthwhile fitting them IMO.

Per the web site, it is front only.

yeah cars usually have fronts and rears. doesn't the rear bumper dirty also? mine looks like it can use flaps, but it fill in the bootie of the car. Look at a subaru brz with mud flaps.

Thanks for the link, very nice looking, tempting... Will be interesting to see & not sure how carbon fiber will hold up in this kind of application.

From the images they look subtle, even moreso since I have BSM. But because I have BSM, I can see more noticeable rock chips already on the side of the door. Wasn't a part of the car that I got ppf on, so hoping these will help.

They look better but I'm not sure if these would be worth more than double the money of the rallyflapz as they don't look like they offer much protection at all.

Just meant I've not seen any for the M2. I'm relying on PPF to protect the leading edges of the rear bumper.

I put ppf on the rocker panels and the factory ppf is on the hips but I am starting to see some small nicks in the ppf. I'll see how the rallyflapz look and work and decide what to do from there.

Same here the installer took the factory BMW crap off and put on Suntek and extended it up a couple of inches. So now the wheels are spaced out and the debris is hitting the car above the PPF when cornering.

I woud do the carbon at twice the price since it is not as large, have a better shape and not just black plastic

If you don’t want or need the protection why get them in the first place? The CF ones are more cosmetic than protective.

Ummmmmm.....but you like the CF ones because they are small. Those aren’t going to stop debris hitting your car when cornering.

If you say so.... a guy in San Diego has them and confirmed they keep most of the contact debris away. But not gonna get into a pissing match with someone that does not have a set

You'll have to let me know how effective they are & how they hold up. Would prefer the lower profile if they are effective.
