My black/blue mud flaps are arrive today for my 2016 WRX. I was super excited then remembered it's 10 degrees outside (I live in New England) and shouldn't be too much fun my first attempt to install mud flaps.
Great video. The small bends that you mention on the back really help with the fit in keeping the flap level with the ground. One easy cosmetic option that I did on my install was use plasti dip to turn the silver screws from Rally armor black. A few coats on the head of the screws match the flap quite well and still allow for the screws provided to be removed if need be.
One trick for folks that don't want to jack the car up/remove the rear wheel - if you have a 1/4 SAE wrench (or even better, a 1/4 SAE ratcheting wrench) then you can use that in conjunction with a philips drill bit to tighten screws in areas with extremely low access for even the stubbiest of regular screwdrivers.
great video. The mud flaps look great on any color WRX or STI and make the car look a lot nicer and sportier. However, to me at least, $172 is too much for these. I wish they were less expensive, but rally armors are much better quality than say rock blocks.
Not sure if anyone pointed this out and perhaps I missed it, but I feel like you neglected to add a UClip on the back bracket. I just installed these last night after watching the video and using the supplied directions.
Pro Tip: To do this without removing the rear tires (stock size) you can easily tighten down the screws if you use a 1/4 apex #2 and a 1/4 gear wrench. Also an offset would most likely work, just slightly more annoying.
not very good guys... you forgot to install the clip on the rear so you can install the screw through the flap.. you made it appear it is not needed as you screwed in the screw.
Considering I had to do it in 1 degree weather in the snow, on coilovers with no jack, I'm glad I used the directions included and didn't forget to put the u-clamp on the rear bracket like they did in this video.
Good video but: 1) forgot the U clip for the back bracket 2) the plastic clips that hold on the fender liner on the front aren't necessarily unscrew-able. You have the twist the inside a quarter turn while keeping the outer housing stationary.
Red flaps with white lettering just installed on my 2015 WRX STi in WRB. They add to the red accents nicely. Price was a bit steep for them though. Hopefully they last me a long time :)
A great video. I will now think about installation of Rally armour mud flaps. Thank you Subiespeed and stay safe out there guys and gals. Subies forever.
one important aspect that made this take 3 hours is in the video he didn't use a c clip in the rear.... I know the instructions are there but going by this video, he forgot a huge key. all in all got it on..you'll need to take the rear tire off to tighten down nuts in rear
Will this brand of mud flaps work with my 2016 Subaru Impreza sedan? Throtl said they're universal for my car but I want to make sure before I spend $160.
Me to moving my front one because I didn’t think to turn it because my clips kept popping loose and I was getting frustrated as shit. Not even that hard of an install compared to what I usually do but damn tell me why this shit sucked to do😂
Just got the rock blox yesterday have yet to install them but the quality is spot on, way to much for the rally armor and I'm not into the shine look, just my option, the rock blox are to me made of a excellent material and you have 2 options short or reg, short being 1.5 shorter and thats what I went with, for 90$ to the door can't beat the price and hey you get a pack of smarties with them lol, I know I'm gonna be a happy driver. Again just my 02. Cheers.
be careful with rock blocks especially when backing up. the material may seem to be better because it is thicker/ stiffer (that's what she said) but that also means that they are less forgiving.
Hey SubiSpeed love the videos! I have got to say your camera work and informative speech is very professional! I have a question though what are your rim dimensions? i heard you say the fronts were 18x9.5 with 265's but what are the offsets? and are you using the same for all 4 corners? did you have any rubbing issues on the suspension? or would you have if you didn't go to aftermarket coilovers? Did you roll the fenders? Thanks in advance keep these videos coming, after i get back from being overseas i'm looking to get a 2015 sti and "try" to do most the work myself.
Thank you for the kind words! Appreciate you taking the time to watch. 18x9.5+38 on all four corners. We are on coilovers with -2.5* camber. Fenders are untouched. www.subispeed.com/2015-subaru-wrx/wheels-and-accessories/wheels/enkei-nt03-m-silver-18x9-5-38-set-of-4-2015-wrx-sti-4320.html#.U71E__ldV8E You can follow our build thread on NASIOC for more information. forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2627328
Hey your welcome :) I have another question. When i get an STI i am getting coilovers but i want some that arent too rough. Right now i live in japan and have a drift spec 180sx and.... i hate it lol i dont get to the track often and it beats the hell out of me on the daily. would you recommend those hks or would they be too much? i basically want more agility without sacrificing comfort. i know that this concept is going in 2 different directions at the same time but you guys seem to know quite a lot about what you do.
KW v3 will suit your needs. The HKS are good as a daily driver and are fairly comfortable, but the KW will out perform at the track and still be just as comfy.
Thanks! keep these videos coming! i need more ideas haha, what are your guys thoughts on the tomei single side exhaust? I love it but what are the pros and cons?
Do you guys happen to know how to tell if the bracket fitment is for 2015 or 2019s because I ordered some 2015+ but the holes don’t quite line up. I also have the rear OEM guards that make it hard to try to install but I don’t want to take them off since they are applied with adhesive from factory.
The bottom screw on the front doesn't seem to tighten. I've got the clip and spacer in there, but on both the left and the right it doesn't get tight. Any ideas?
Installed these on my 2016 WRX yesterday, but having issues with the rear tires rubbing on the nuts whenever I go over a bump. I'm currently running on Bridgestone Blizzaks 245-45R19 (winter tires), but with the stock summer tires on, I shouldn't have any problems. Any suggestions on how to stop it from rubbing with my winter tires on?
You forgot to mention the U-clip on the back bracket, also good luck to anyone trying to instal the rear flaps with the tires left on #impossible I needed to use a wrench to twist the screws in instead of using a screwdriver.
My RA mudflaps sucked. lasted one winter season.. after a couple winter storms the bracket bent then broke in the rear.. RA didn't want to warranty it.. wouldn't recommend for off-road use, cosmetic only...
+blazernhan No these are very functional. They help keep rocks from flinging up and damaging your paint. They also help to keep dirt, grit, sand, snow, and mud from building up on your car.
@@morganjames13 unless one is stripped and you have to spend like an hour figuring out how to get a stripped out plastic clip off your fender liner. The answer, if anyone needs it, just break the fkn thing.
Im having the HARDEST time popping off the fender liner clips!!! PLEASE HELP im using brute force and they wont pop out no matter how much i have loosened it!!! I dont wanna damage my car
how hard is it to remove these after install? What I mean is, When I unscrew the mudflaps, are the plastic clips going to fall inside the cars molding? I forgot to put a clip on one of the front flaps but I'm afraid of unscrewing them thnking the clips will fall off then I'll have to tear apart the whole side of the car to get them otherwise I won't be able to put the flaps back on and they'll be useless without the clips.
+Brylle Martin just be carefull with the 2014 with your paint,super thin on those models!!! scratch sooo easy,definatley will benefit from mudflaps...,hey well down there hit your rocker underside with some paint cause Subee didnt...
Are there any issues installing the RallyArmor mudflaps as well as the HT Autos Rear Spats? It seems like there might be some interference there with one of the clips.
In my case, with standard 245/40R18 tires, I was able to do it fine without lifting the car or removing tires. I used a normal 11mm craftsman wrench for the nuts, and had no issue, and for the screw in the center I used a 18" screwdriver that I have. It allowed it to be straight enough and held well enough that I was able to get the screws plenty tight without trouble.
Delete this video or just edit it in but....Didn’t say a word about the clip for the back bracket at all. Had to pop that damn c clip off to put it in. Kind of a big part to leave out lol. Anyone that reads this, just read the directions or find another video tutorial.
The hardware that comes with these are trash! The "s" clips don't fucking clip on worth shit! The backs go on easy I can't get the fronts on. Any tips?

Looks easy and neat when YOU doi it! There'll always be some to criticize, but your explanations were clear and clever. Thanks!
If you tape off and plasti-dip the hardware after install it not only hides the hardware, it protects it from rust if you live in a snow area

+Al Mo either way? put em on !!! Subees gone way cheap on paint these days ...super thin!!!
Al Mo $172.....or $500 for paint repair.
Get the universal Rally Armor ones for 25 bucks. Just need to drill your own holes.
I mean if you bought a subie, 172 is cheap. Maybe get a Chevy Malibu if 172 is a lot to you.
Not sure if anyone pointed this out and perhaps I missed it, but I feel like you neglected to add a UClip on the back bracket. I just installed these last night after watching the video and using the supplied directions.
bfrazell Same here man. I thought I missed something but I am glad I grabbed the instructions.
+bfrazell yup same here. lol.. then it was too dark to fix them so i just took them off and time to do it tomorrow :(
+bfrazell LOL he forgot to put it on and then it just appears in the next step...
Yeh i had to take it out and put u clip in.

dsonyay doing my mud flaps right now and yes they did I was confused as to why I had to clips left over, thanks for pointing it out.
just made the same mistake myself smh
dsonyay learn to read. They send directions for a reason.
Yeap. Did that too following video. I then looked over and noticed 2 more clips which then made me undo rear. Quick fix
This screwed me up

It’s not as simple as they made it seem, They edited out the parts that most people will struggle through, but they got the main point across
Thankyou I just needed someone to show me. I think I can do it myself now. ❤
Just got a 2015 Impreza (*not wrx*) - and just bought some. I assume the installs the same. Thanks man!
They are
Good video but:
1) forgot the U clip for the back bracket
2) the plastic clips that hold on the fender liner on the front aren't necessarily unscrew-able. You have the twist the inside a quarter turn while keeping the outer housing stationary.
C.S. Patch I love you
God damn i wish I saw this comment before I broke 2 clips
I take it back, the clips don't go back in, crisis averted
I know I'm late to the party but he didn't, they edited it pretty good 👍
Fcuk. Would have been nice to see this before I broke the bottom clips. Glad I don't need to reuse them.

motomuscl3 I used a Phillips head and a pair of pliers, worked like a charm
You can tighten the the bolt with the mud flap on before putting the bracket inside your fender liner to save your self having to take off your wheel
That looks great. I'll have to get them. BTW, I would paint the screws black for an added touch.
Do a video of installing fender liner on 2015 sti
Thanks for including all the install details.
How would I put these on when I have the subaru rear spats? Im worried the screws from the spats wont let me get the bracket it in the back.
Hey you forgot the clips in the back the middle screw needs the clip or it won't screw in.
The flutes in the instrumental are tripping me out
I can’t concentrate
Can any1 help me pls… i cant pop off the front clips from the car…any tips?
Video helped a lot in the installation thank you
You Rock ! Great instructional video..
Will this brand of mud flaps work with my 2016 Subaru Impreza sedan? Throtl said they're universal for my car but I want to make sure before I spend $160.
So i broke the top part of the fender liner clip up front and its stuck in there. Anyone know of a good way to get the long narrow part out?
Will these fit with the OEM rear quarter under spoiler and the OEM side underspoilers?
Both sides on mine stick out too much at an angle . Ever since it snowed they got worse, any advice ?
Me to moving my front one because I didn’t think to turn it because my clips kept popping loose and I was getting frustrated as shit. Not even that hard of an install compared to what I usually do but damn tell me why this shit sucked to do😂

you hold the outside in place and then turn the screwdriver, they come out easy then

If u dont mind whats the size of wheels and tires? Thanks 👌🏻
When you put the rear wheel back on, is there a certain amount of torque you need to apply to the lug nuts?
Usually 100 flb/torque

Thank you for the reply, Mike but I referred to the owners manual and it was way less than 100. I think it was around 49 or so.

Ordered some mud flaps and not all the screws and nuts were dilivered
which side of the washer that that's facing out ward?

Do you think these will tear it dry out and Crack over time?
These are made of very high quality materials that will last for a very long time. We've had ours on with multiple track days and have had no issues,

No issues on our car.
Weird question, what the name of the song playing during the video?
its in the link.
I fucking hate c-clips. They never go back in, and if they do, they're so loose they just fall right back out
Price for this are kinda expensive. I'm thinking of going for the Rockbloks flaps instead they are half price cheaper
Trying to install on my 2019 and the s clips don't fit in the holes. Should I return?

Funny how he says to give them a call but when you do all you get is a voice recording saying that they only take emails.
Guessing you can't install the rear mud flaps if your WRX has the OEM Rear Aero Splash Guards?
Yes you can just have to do some slight modifications
***** Yes, I have since installed the mudflaps over my aeros.
Did you find some instructions online for that?
+Steve Nelson go to my wrx channel they did it on the white wrx
Steve Nelson Don't need instructions, just remove the aeros, put the mudflaps on and then reinstall aeros.

Yes
You forgot to put the u nut for the rear flap.
You guys gotta bump up your f stops. Too blurry. Love the vids though 😀
Looks sick!
What’s that rim setup?
Is it possible to install the rear without lifting the car?
+Fox Stowe If you have the correct tools, yes.
In my case, with standard 245/40R18 tires, I was able to do it fine without lifting the car or removing tires.

It allowed it to be straight enough and held well enough that I was able to get the screws plenty tight without trouble.
what rims are those?
I love how I need spend $200 on a pair of mud flaps that are in no way a ‘Easy’ install.
Took me 45 min and im kinda retarded, left the wheels on too
would the install be the same for a 2011?
