My Kizzy
Camping? Nice. I'm about to finally install the mud flaps on my Kizashi and reinstall the roof racks and Thule roof box for some fall/winter desert camping. I've been camping mostly in my GF's Chevy Equinox AWD due to the ground clearance, AWD, and cargo capacity as we favor primitive camping sites that are less accessible. We are often the only CUV at the sites, especially in more remote parks that cater to the offroading/overlanding enthusiasts. Now that I scouted out some campsites the Kizashi can access, I plan to drive it for the next few trips but really want the mud flaps on due to the weak paint that chips easily from off-pavement sedimentation.

Mudflaps for Kizashi good idea any suggestion?
When I saw the sleeping pad attached to the pack, I figured it was a camping trip.
So, I think most of us here are getting the Rally Armor mud flaps in the Universal fitment. There are different types of materials from the basic plastic to higher grade polyurethane. I got the basic ones to try out as I don't deal with snow anymore and want them for protection against dirt kick-up. The reason I haven't gotten around to installing these yet is because it takes measuring, outlining, cutting, and drilling. From test-fitting the rear mud flaps, it looks like I will have to cut them on the inboard side to clear the exhaust mufflers on both sides.

Yes, really handy pad in all kinds of situations.
OK, so it's a universal thanks KuroNekko. I am on itKuroNekko wrote: ↑Fri Oct 29, 2021 9:17 pm So, I think most of us here are getting the Rally Armor mud flaps in the Universal fitment.

It is a really lovely car in the white!
I was thinking the other day, seeing loads of other cars with fins or aerials that I don't remember my Kizashi having either & thinking it was a bit odd, but seeing yours with a fin on the rear really confuses me now as to why the UK one doesn't!
Is it bad that I want a fin on mine? haha!

Thanks, @Evanzo7
I think because it is not OEM.it's just cheap plastic fins with no aerial antenna but I like it.
