What are the differences between Molded and Universal Mud Flaps?
Custom Molded Mud Flaps are designed to fit your year/make/model for a perfect fit. Each molded mud flap is contoured to your vehicles body and typically attaches directly to pre-drille holes on your rig. Molded Mud Flaps are typically made from very small polymer beads that are loaded into a machine and melted, then injected into a mold. This creates a very strong molded plastic that offers you a heavy duty custom molded flap.
Universal Mud Flaps are designed to fit most vehicles ranging from Trucks, SUVs, RV's and cars. Most universal mud flaps are a flat piece of rubber or plastic that is simple to drill for easy installation to your vehicle. Universal mud flaps sometimes require cutting and adjustments for proper fitment. Universal flaps are typically made from heavy duty rubber offering maximum durability and long life.
What mud flap application is best for me?
Well. It depends on what type of vehicle you have and what your needs are. If you are looking for a clean, stylish mud flap that offers great front and rear wheel protection you should choose molded flaps. If your not worried about a perfect fitting flap but still want maximum protection from chipping and debris than universal mud flaps are the way to go. If price is your main concern than check out our large selection of universal flaps. Universal flaps are typically less expensive than custom molded flaps due to increased costs for custom designed molded mud flaps. At the end of the day, both types of flaps are great for different reasons. To explore and purchase a set of mud flaps, check out Mudflaps.com for over 30 manufactures of quality flaps.
