Not a fan of mud flaps. Just a place to collect dirt/mud and requires drilling holes in painted metal exposing raw metal to moisture (not a good thing). If you don't have wider tire not a lot of crap get kicked up under normal circumstances (unless you do a lot of mudding, not normal).

My Integra and Toyota have factory mudflaps but not my TR7. The Integra has more curl to the sills so needs them.

Totally agree, that's why I drilled the holes before the body shell got coated [;)]

Check the online catalog at Victoria British. They have both front and rear with the rears showing a nice white TR7 logo (same font as the trunk/boot rear). But no mounting hardware there. Rimmer has a mounting kit for the same physical style flaps. Most of it is just screws, washers and nuts BUT there included is a unique pair of brackets needed to anchor the inside corners of the rear pair.
