To me I think they do the job(rally look lightweight and stop the stone chips) and at the rear you can't see that it only covers 3/4 of the wheel as I was down on one knee to take the pic
For me I don't like massive mud flaps with Subaru stamped all over them if these's are to small what's the factory one like?

I have them but only fitted the fronts, they really help protect the door etc. Rears are not really worth it unless you go for full width flaps on back.

Hey, isn't the purpose of mudflaps to protect the bodywork and underside of the car? I'm not too sure how the mini flaps will actually do their job!

If you're worried about the flaps scraping on the floor we manufacture ones with two sets of mounting holes which allows you to raise or lower the flap by around 30mm - great for lowered cars.

They are quite pricey but are made of polyurethane which is much much stronger than the cheaper PVC ones. Ours were designed specifically for off road and road use!
