Mudguards...more specifically mudguards on the EP3, love em or hate em? Personally I think they are great for EP3s not rocking a rear lip...it helps to bring down the bumper visually to much more complementing proportions in relation to the side skirts (04-05 EP3s) and front lip if present. Well also to help with the dirt splash but thats not the reason I got em. Plus I like the functional/granny look they give to the EP3's exterior. Who else is rocking mudguards? Personally I think the rally armor ones look nice as well..you can get em and just custom fit them to the EP3

On a Scooby but you get the idea. I bet these style on a EP3 would have such a rally esque look...hence their name rally armor.

*As of now im mudguard free, sold em recently. Plan to cop some OEM ones again.

Stock mudguards = win.

Rally Armor = Tractor Trailer Mudflaps. You might as well get some with Yosemite Sam with guns drawn saying 'Back Off'.

1. Yes sir its sold.

2. Personally I think the rally armor is nice...maybe its cause i hang around Scoobys all the time who have em and they grown on me. Yeah at first I was like this some tractor/truck status mud flaps but after a while im like its cooler than a girls elbows.

3. lol I always mod my car the way I want, just curious to what the masses think.

The reason they don't look too out of place on new STI's is because they are like twice the size of EP's. But if your like Baron up there and bomb mud puddles in your EP, then maybe they are for you.

But since you asked opinions... IMO I'd rather wash my car more frequently rather than have 4 'door mats' hanging from my wheel wells. But again that's just me. :mconfused:

The fronts can go off without any issues visually but imo if you take off the rear you better put a rear lip back there. Looking at mine right now without the rear mudguards...the damn bumper looks high as hell on the sides...doesnt look proportiante to my sideskirts and ctr front lip. Either i cop some rally armor/oem ones or get a rear lip.

Never been a fan of lips or the side skirts. my bumpers and sides are stock. ill try it and take a pic.

I think the oem's look best on black cars - because the mudguards are black. On any other color IMO they look terrible.

i took them off and yup i like the look without them, they scraped on driveways any ways. and as to the lip kits, just never liked them, if i were to mold them into the bumpers they might look alright other wise no.

Those must have been some monster driveways lol.

Thats cool your happy with the stock exterior...its bugging the crap outta me not having a rear lip...already got the CTR style front and oem sideskirts. (mine is a 04-05)

I think sometimes I should just get the Buddy Club body kit...the bumpers extend low enough so there is no need for a lip.

DO what you like. Taste is personal and subjective. I like when mud guards scrape on lowered cars.

I dont have any but I have full HFP kit. I took of my rear lip and I think the stock bumper sits too high for my taste.

When I first looked at it, the idea of rear mud guards did cross my mind. But I just ordered a new HFP lip from HandA since they are discontinued and all.

the rears are all the same because the bumpers dont change

but the fronts 02/03 are for without the sideskirt 04/05 are for with the sideskirt

i like the ebay ones there, however, at 65 british pounds, they're expensive for what they are. today's currency conversion puts them at almost $110 US. at that price, you're better off getting the "good" ones from rally armor.
