Default mudflap...

well yesterday, after a session of rock climbing, I managed to rip one of my mudflaps off Basically, a large lump in the road, pushed the mudflap under the front wheel which in turn dislodged the whole thing. I then ripped it off as it was very lose. Flexible rubber ones....btw.

Anyone else had this issue? Will the stiffer carbon ones avoid this issue?

I do like them being in place, they keep alot of dirt off the doors........

Common problem, usually caused by them being a tad too low to the ground. Same would happen with carbon ones only they would break.

figured something along those lines, thanks... so with lowered suspension, I will need to "trim" the front flaps.

Happens a lot to people on here while reversing up curbs.
If it get trapped between the wheel and the floor/rock/curb then something's got to give.

definitely... have honestly been expecting it to happen. Will need to either cut mine, or buy shorter ones.

Who reverses up curbs, in an impreza ???
