These said it comes with full fixing kit, i didnt expect 12 self tappers haha.
Also all 4 flaps are the same, i thought the front and back were different sizes?

might be because i went for the cheaper ones, or maybe because i had just finished work and it was getting dark when i went to put them on

scott lowe sells some excellent mudflaps. As you say the fronts are larger (wider) than the rears. The fronts actually wrap around the wheel well.

Those Performance creations ones are rubbish!!! Way too thin and flap about like bin bags over 20mph. Scoobyworlds or Scott Lowes are much much better.

Agreed they look OK when car standing still but on the move they look ridiculous.Made from cheap thin PVC. Having had these and then genuine STI flaps I would not put them on a shopping trolley never mind a Scoob. Cheap snidey copies. Like buying a Rolex in Turkey!

shame your in a minority then.... lots and lots of people on here (including me) will vouch that for £50ish, there some of the best flaps available. unless you want to shell out say 3 times that much on scot lowe/genuine jobbies, stop moaning. you pays your money etc etc

I have the Performance creations ones on MY03 STi, got the ones with the metal brackets, cant fault them, no different to any others. TBH I dont look at my flaps at speed to see if they are flapping about, dont really care. I fitted mine as part of the look and they look really good. Been on 8 months and no probs.

I Just got in touch with performance creations as I also bought some mudlfaps a while ago from another company without the metal brackets.

Just been quoted £17.50 for all four brackets & fixings delivered, im calling them tomorrow to put my order in.

Another vote for the PC ones. I had some on my first Scooby and was so pleased with them I bought another set for my current one (both with the more expensive fixing kit though). I've seen the Scoobyworld ones in the flesh and they seem exactly the same in terms of thickness/quality. Haven't seen the Scott Lowe ones to compare, but at £150 they're a bit steep IMO.

Likewise. I got the PC ones and they are fine. i have them on the higher position and i can't say that they do flap about at all.

excellent stuff for the money.
