Painting rear mud flaps
 
Just installed the Stillen front splitter and EVO-R side skirts. They're flat black with a satin clear coat (solid red car).

But now the a$$ end of it looks high. The skirts & splitter seem to pull the car down and the behind the rear wheels looks real high.

Last night I put some black electrical tape on the rear mud flaps to get an idea of what it might looks like, and I thought it looked pretty sharp and helped bring the look of the side more 'together'. Anyone ever done it for real? I figure I can just rattle can them.

Why not give it a shot. I don’t think I have seen one with this type of set up. If you’re not 100% about it try plastic dipping it so that why if you don’t like the outcome you can peel it off before you rattle can them.

^ what he said. First thing I thought was Plastidip. I did that to my rear valance before deciding to give it a proper paint job.

Wait you have mud flaps? What model gets mud flaps, touring?

Well, went ahead and just painted them. Still need to polish them out so they match the blades / splitter, but here are a couple of pics.

It does help tie it all together...

Attempting to bump. Thinking about doing this and looking for more pics. Front & rear.

The danger of bumping an old thread is that OP has not been on here for a year. So no pics.

I was hoping for another kind fella with painted splash guards to post pics.
