DIY IKEA mud flaps - Toyota Yaris Forums

arcticvitz · 10-12-2009, 03:27 PM

If you're looking for a good set of mud flaps on a budget look no further than IKEA. For $1.99 you can get yourself a 2 pack of flexible cutting boars in either black, red or blue. I bought two packages and 2 bags of screws from Lowes for a grand total of $8

. I managed to snap a few photos last night while I was installing the front however it was with a cell so they aren't the best. A little fine tuning may be needed but i think they came out well. More photos to come!

P.S.- The cutting boards come in two different shades

so if you want the same color on both sides you'll need to pick up two packages.

Nice DIY but i would take some shears and trim it a little bit to be flush with the fender. That way it looks more oem isntead of looking like cutting boards screwed to your car =)

Yeah, I've been thinking about that myself. I'm trying to decide if they'll be as functional if they don't stick out a little on the sides.

You should be fine with stock tire width. If you go with 215s, it might be a good idea to leave them as is, but cut the top so its rounded more.
