EVO 8, IX, MR+ Rally Mud Flap Instructions


In order to complete this install, you will be required to remove the tires for the first time you install the flaps. The fronts are possible by turning the steering wheel away from the side you are working on, but it is quite easier if the tires are removed. Once the clips are placed over the front wheel wells, the flaps can be removed and bolted back on at will without having to remove the front tires.

Your mounting hardware should consist of:

  • 6 Clips
  • 10 Stainless Steel Washers
  • 6 Short Stainless Steel Bolts
  • 4 Long Stainless Steel Bolts
  • 2 Molybdenum Spacers

Rear Flaps

Begin by removing the rear wheel and placing the car on jack stands - (if you can jack up the car enough to reach the inner bolt you may also choose to install without tire removal)

 

Remove the two rear bolts that hold the liner.

 

Prepare a long screw with a washer.

 

 

Place rear bushing on the flap as shown and bolt up loosely (only enough to hold the flap) You will be adjusting this before you fully tighten.

 

 

 

Bolt flap

Bolt on one of the short bolts with a washer through the flap into the OEM clip on the bumper, leave loose.

Loosen/tighten screws until the bottom flap is perpendicular to the body and ground, and tighten everything.
(note the rear of the long screw and confirm it is not interfering with anything from behind)

Mud flaps must be perpendicular to the ground or they will be at a slight angle when viewed from the back.



Front Flaps

Remove front wheel jack car up and place on jack stands (not necessary but quite easier with tires off

(You may also install with the tires on the vehicle turned if desired)

Remove clips A - C

Unbolt D

Remove two front screws from side skirt in order to bring it down a bit (E)

 

Pull the side skirt a bit down and remove the liner material slowly. (Note: the liner material can easily tear if you push too hard. Work it slowly away from the clips.)

 

 

You should have everything opened up by now.

 

Place 3 short clips over A, B, and C (note "B" is behind the side skirt- Note Version 2 EVo flaps utilize plastic clips)

Replace liner as it was before (covering the clips) Bolt the 10mm wheel liner bolt back (D) Refer to the other side of the car if you need to recall how it is put back together. Although slightly tricky, you must replace the liner as it was before the install to avoid rubbing.

.

 

Bolt the mud flap as follows (note the long bolt on the side skirt bolt). Install the two side skirt screws as well.

Replace tire and repeat for the other side... and enjoy.
