Mud flaps, or also known as mud guards and splash guards are rubber mats which are attached directly behind the wheels of automobiles. As the name implies, mud flaps serve to shield cars from mud and other debris flung out by tires. Most mud flaps are made of high-grade plastic while some are made of metal. It is essential that both rear and front tires be outfitted with mud flaps as road debris will be kicked up and small stones being thrown by the tires may cause scratches and other damages to vehicles and other vehicles from behind. Mud flaps are rather easy to install, but can sometimes prove to be a very messy and awkward process. Just a few bolts or screws are enough to hold the top of the mud flap firmly in place while the bottom edge remains unattached.
Note: If in any case the lip became warped, simply lay it on a flat surface under the sun or use a heat gun gently heat up the warped area. The poly urethane material will restore back to its original shape when heated and stays that way after it cools down.
