you have a picture of how much they stick out? and I wouldnt do it, they belong on trucks and subies, they would look ridiculous on a mustang IMO

 

I know that new car manufactureres are required to keep the tire in the fenderwell and allow for accomodations for things like snow chains, but I have no idea if it's required when you mod.

 

its not even sticking out

 

That car looks great! I honestly wouldnt put mud flaps on it. From the angle of the first shot, it looks like its still inside the fender?

 

Thanks. and yea its in the fender maybe a inch or less. when i had bullitts on they were perfectly flush and i had no problems but idky they trippin off this lol

 

i know here in PA you've got some work to do ONLY if your tires stick out past the fenders...personally if it was just a warning and no fix-it ticket i wouldnt worry about it unless the rare chance it would happen again.

EDIT:: now after seeing your pictures, i have no idea WTF the problem is...maybe the cop was just looking for something to do ??

i once got a fix-it ticket for tint on my old 04 Ranger. i peeled the tint off (20%) took the truck up to the police station to get the ticket signed then re-did my windows that same afternoon in 35%. it was a bit lighter but i never had problems with the police again. its a luck of the draw thing/depends on the officers mood that day.

 

Are running 285 or 305 in the rear?

 

Wow never heard of that ticket!!

What a joke... Mudflaps... I wouldn't do it!

 

That's a bullshit ticket. The cop was probably just using that as an excuse to see if you were up to some bad ****. Your tires don't go past the fender at all. **** the pOlice, I said ****, **** da pOlice!!!

 

That sounds like BS. He probably was just having a bad day. Brush it off and move on -there are far worse things on the road to worry about than having mudflaps to block the water spraying up on to the cars behind you. <- that is what windshield wipers are for :lmao

 

+1^

 

That is a stupid law if that is truly the case. I say forget the flaps. Your car sits nicely and has a great wheel stance.

 

Did he tell you what actual law it was?

That's where I'd start. I took a quick look at the California Vehicle Code and didn't find anything.

 

lol i got 285s in the rear. i was only going like 30mph in a 45 zone just cruisin home from school. i got a radar n **** was beepin for like 5 mins n i thought it was for someone else cuz im just relaxing and everybody else zoomin past me lol. but he didnt tell em any law he just said its a warning and its hazardous to the public lol.

 

its hazardous to the public lol.

Hazardous cause that car looks so damn good! everyone will be staring at you and crashing! :lol

 

Sounds like you just had a run in with a jerk off cop.

 

hes been pullin me over since my older v6 mustang lol and thats when i was 16 im 19 now lol

 

and for a rare chance of it happening again it probably will cuz that guy is in my way of travel everyday and has gaven me two window tint tickets in the same intersection lol

 

Was the window tint illegal both times? If yes then it's on you. I don't get mad at cops when I break the law and they catch me, it is kinda their job and all. Now mudflaps on a mustang is pretty laughtastic, I'd research that one if I were you to be better prepared when he decides to get you again.

 

I would file a complaint against him

 

would it do anythin since its his area of travel or ticketing area or whatever

 

Call the local Highway Patrol office and ask them.

That law is on the book to ticket jackasses in lifted pickups and keep them from throwing rocks and mud on cars behind them. It's not a BS law, it's just being applied in a BS way.

 

i say it's complete BS my tires stick out of my fenders in both my Mustang and Ranger and neither one has mudflaps, and no body ever says anything to me,but you do live in Cali and they have some dumb laws

 

You didn't get a ticket so I don't understand why everyone is bitching about it. You won't ever get pulled over for it agian so don't worry. Cop was having a bad day

 

Dont worry about it. Just dont do anything stupid and get caught. Worse case its a fix it ticket. I've literally made mudflaps out of tie wrapes and conveyor belt and zip tied them onto my silverado (12 lift kit on 37s). The CHP office looked at me like I was a joke lmao but they signed it off. The zip ties broke before I got home and the conveyor belt flew off on the freeway.... I think its a great mod and it fixes itself hahaha

 

Thats rediculous.

 

Someone was bored... And just be prepared for when he does pull you over again. Do your homework and look up the specific law. Be able to clearly articulate that it applies for tires that stick outside of the fender and that yours don't. Simple as that. If yours are illegal, then so is every other car on the road. Continually pulling you over for that IS targeting, and complaint worthy. Although it may not do anything negative to him, he might get the message to chill the **** out and leave you alone, especially if you aren't doing anything wrong
