Shorty mud flaps?

does anyone make them?? I dont like the plain black rubber ones. I also tried the hard abs plastic kind and didnt work for me. so last step is shorty ones that stick down maybe a few inches...maybe 6" or so?

Why can't you just cut the rubber ones down to the size you like and then just bolt a lip on there with diamond plate or something else? Then paint the lip to match the rubber?

oh boy I stirred it up!!! like I said...not a fan of the rubber style mud flaps...Id rather have no flaps. i was looking for something mor elike

here are the Husky abs ones which look good in some cases..they were just a little too long for me

Oh I see what your saying. Sorry late night last night and just quick replied without completely reading the your post. I have seen them on pickups before mostly 1/4's like 150s and Titans. They look really good on them I'm not too sure about the SDs.

Seems like a reasonable idea if that is the route you want to go. Alot better than dishing out cash for something your not going to be satisfied with.

right pain, this toolbox has been in the back of the truck for 5 years now and both the latches are broken, so i figured i might as well clean up the diamond plate and make some cheap mudflaps out of them.
