Yep. Right now my front mud flaps are being held on with duck tape. That's what I get for autocrossing the car.
LOL my front mud flaps are also held on w/ duct tape until my annual service. That's what I get for driving my car in the winter.

The stock mud flaps are attached with rivets. I drilled those out and attached the additional flaps into the same holes. I used a combination of rivets, self tapping screws, and nuts and bolts - all through the existing holes. I also didn't trim the flaps width wise and even got to one of the bolts holding the felt lining in place. That's probably overkill, and I'll end up trimming back (but the tire doesn't rub).
I didn't know how low I could go with the mud flaps. I ended up trying 1&5/8" above the pavement. That's not enough for spirited driving, so right now I'm using the pavement to custom trim the mud flap length as I drive.
So, by how much has pavement custom trimmed your flaps now through 'spirited driving'?
I'm getting ready to do install some and figured 2" should be good enough clearance to avoid pavement trimming...
which I'd rather avoid since I'm going the 'lazy' way and just attaching them to the existing flaps without removing existing rivets.
What are the measurements of the mud sills you guys got? My car parts shop only has 32x17cm(12"x6.6") and 36x21cm (14"x8") available...

Thanks!
After driving around for a week, my sills are still peachy clean. Roundabouts and sharp corners make the flaps sweep the street, but nothing too serious, no visible wear and tear.
Interesting !
could you explain or show us how you have attached these ?
If interested I know someone who custom made the mold for the Roadster door sill
I'm interested. What mold? Is this for a carbon fiber replacement, or for sealing out gravel and the elements?
