 but still is a joke to pay for mud flaps.  I found a better solution. I went
 to NAPA and looked over their mud flap supply. I found a set of large black
 mud flaps, and with a little creativity, went to the hardware store, found
 some long metal (bendable) strips of brackets, wich I made into brackets to
 help support the mud flaps where there would be too much flopping around in
 the wind. I have a syncro, wich has the stupid little, good for nothing ,
 teeny weeny worth-less mud flaps, wich turned out to be great to mount the
 NAPA style mud flaps right up against them. The home made brackets were
 screwed into the inside body and then supporting the section of the new mud
 flaps where needed.   The cost, about $50 for everything and about 3 hours.
 The mud flaps I made are better looking than anything I've seen so far.
