    If you aren't looking for something form fitted....

    I put some RallyArmor flaps on last year.

    Nothing fancy, but REALLY gets teh job done one vehicles with aggressive wheel/tires fitments.


    Very disappointed with how they turned out. Of course, had to get the universal fit and modify them slightly for the VX. I went with the urethane ones, which was probably the biggest mistake. They were just simply too damned floppy. The inner front well also has a concave design that the flap is not friendly with so it added a very unappealing flex to the flap. They came off after 1 day, heh. The ones I have on my STi are form fitted and come with brackets and look and work GREAT. Would love to have that vibe on the VX with these.

    With a slight bit more modification (meaning perhaps creating a bracket to resolve that front inner well), the basic (non urethane) RallyArmor might work.

    These are more rigid I believe. I think it's the same material as the ones I had on my older WRX. They worked great on that car, and were very affordable. Again, I think with some simple brainstorming on attachment, these would work and look great. I would like to try again some day with the basics, but until then, I can live with my VX rooster tailing down the highway.
