If you insist on a rubber mud flap then you're in luck. They still exist and are very, very durable. Mud flaps are often equipped on new vehicles to keep rocks from jumping up and damaging vehicle paint. The most common application for these vehicles are "Molded Splash Guards". Molded or custom fit means each product is custom made to fit the vehicles curves.
