So as most of you JDM nuts know JAOS is a bad ass but highly over priced (and over rated) accessory company. I do however like the look of their "Rally Style Mud Flaps" but the price of $245.00 for a pair.. yes PAIR! is ludicrous. So .. me being me and having and Italian last name said to myself.. "I could make those for much cheaper" .... so I did. ***SKIP TO SECOND POST TO SEE START OF PHOTOS THEN BACK HERE TO CONTINUE :S ***

#1) After making them and all the work involved that's probably what I would try to sell them for. Haha
#2) The real ones? Yipes... It was tempting but this works for now, I hope they last. They did fine through hunting season and this winter. Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for them?

They look identical and you an brag that "Yeah, I made them." I think they are awesome and would love a set but I am settling on some crappy tire blah flaps. As long as they do the job, and cost $30

Nice looking flaps but I don't understand why you would tag your handiwork with someone else's brand-name.

Better re-sale value. The manufacturers of fake Gucci's etc don't put they're own name on the product for a reason.
