$100!!!! I got a set of rear "MAZDA" mudflaps off a late 80's 626 from a local junkyard for $10! They hang down a little lower than the stock front ones, but help make the car look aggressive from the rear.

i think looks are a secondary reason at best for mud flaps. protecting the paint from rock chips and corrosion is worth the price, regardless of how they look

btw, im in germany, and saw a 323 wagon (P5 without the side skirts) and it looks really good.

Thumbs up MUD FLAPS

To, true, on the issue of mud flaps, i'm currently lookin for some my self. i called 5 dealers one told me they could order them for me. the others told me mazda usually dis continues making them after a few years. trying to compare prices from dealer to dealer. they told me they cannot be orderd. further more i have seen off hand what not having mud guards on your car can do, as far as rust and, so much caked on road tar that i think the car prob. would have had to have been sand blasted to take off.. (seriously).. another thing if any one knows anything about 1st gen mud guards, please post. i neeeed some bad on my ride. my paint job is in mint cond. and i already see nic chips where the mud guards should be... P.S. to all peoples looking for parts on a mazda, and you have to go to the dealer to get it, shop around from mazda dealer to dealer, believe it or not some places are more expensive than others.

you may want to check out some Euro, Japanese, New Zealand or Australian sites for 323 flaps. I KNOW there are a ton of rally style flaps out there, but i'm sure you'll find a set of regular street flaps.

He probably means those long ones that hang to the ground and are floppy unlike the street ones that are stiff and shorter.
Correct me.
