i rarely see rear OEM splash guards on 3g's.
maybe 1 in 200 ??? if that

those things are as rare as hen's teeth.

my buddy was at the jy the other day and said he saw 2
pair. one was subby in length, the other pair was full length like the fronts.
i dont know if they made both types or not.?

back to the ?..........

who here has rear flaps?
stubby or full length?
pics????

I have those rear OEM mud flaps, too. Mine are all black rubber not the fancy ones Overdosed_A18A has. Sorry, no pic. Oh, and yes please, clarification on stubby vs. full length?

I have them. I actually bought the rear pair from the dealership when the car was new. They were only $20. I have modified all four of mine, though, by cutting them off at the "lines." All I have left is the part that is painted white on Overdosed's flaps. I sanded my cut lines with fine grit paper and they look really good - much more like the ones that came on newer Accords. I think the full length flap looks pretty old school, especially with it saying "Honda" on it!

he really did not specify.
he just said stubby.

i would think like yours, but just the white part.

i like the way they look front and back.
looks more "refined" .???
also looks wider and lower.

i have them on the front, but need to go to the jy
and get the rears.

i have them too...front and back....i never thought of these as rare parts...lol

i guess maybe its just this part of the country......

i hardly ever see rear flaps.
i see lots and lots of 3g's
some with fronts, but rarely with rears.

i thought they were like the accord wagon in rareity,
but i guess not. hmm.

hey they fit!!! you revese them,left front goes on right rear,right front goes on left rear if they were cleaned up and painted with black bumper paint,the letters could be done in that special whie paint they use for doing tire lettering.

cool get some GOod pics... lol i want to see this MODwhen I get it done,they will look just like the ones in the picture the black and white ones. it's probably the same mudflap. I noticed the factory ones the honda emblems face each other vs facing towards the tire at the back. it's the same mudflap. I used to have an article on these the dealers used to charge a fortune for the read mud flaps. well some of them did. I like the white letter look it looks really old school,which is what i'm going for.

I have mine, original, I think they look classy as the car was supposed to kinda siloette a mercedes . I would be interested in a new pair if you have some with big logos with large red round circle with a slash thru a mitshitbitchi emblem.

huuu i had the front ones but not the back ones. I took the front ones off when i lowered my car,, they were dragging the ground lol and yea with out em if i go through a puddle or water it splashes like halfway down the side of my car.

I think besides a matter of personal taste, it makes a difference how you set up the car like regarding moulding body color or removed, lowering with large wheels, body kits, window tint, sometimes they look goofy if certain mods occur;

lol...i use to have all 4 of them on my hatch...i still have them in the garage. i had to take them off to mold my custom kit on right.

i like the way the mud flaps imo but if i got rims i would probably take them off they look best in the stock wheel form and i live on a dirt road so it does help alot they also kinda add to the ground effects like a lip and i like the noise when they scrape the ground haha

I have them front and rear
they stop the mud from going all over the car, es, but all of that mud is stored right behind the flaps, right where you don't want all that wet mud.. in the wheel arches.

thats why my aerodeck is rotten on 4 places... you can probably guess where...

I cleaned out all the wheel arches and welded in 3 plates. so there's still 1 arch to go. But that's for a professional.. I'm not touching that 'cause you see rust on the outside as well.
