Flapfab vs Sukeban rock guards

[TypeRD]

@TW00Si Yes, I would if I was a new customer.

from the pictures I think I like the one that pokes out a bit or else it’s not that much different from OEM.

Yeah, you can adjust the Sukebans to basically sit flush OR if you want to show them off you can make them stick out quite a bit. I went about half way, so they offer some good outward protection while not drawing too much attention. I like them better than I thought I would. They are indeed stupidly expensive for pieces of laser cut plastic, but I figure it’s a set it and forget it thing. If they protect my car from $200 worth of nicks and dings for 2-3 years (and still look decent) I’ll be happy. ?

I like the Flap Fab design a lot. It really looks great. It boils down to how much protection you want vs esthetics, exactly as others have said.

Here’s a pic from Sukeban’s Instagram. This is about as flush as they can be, if I recall correctly (when I installed mine).

Yeah for me the sukebans provide more protection. Could not justify the price at the time but seeing them they are the better choice IMO.

This and this. If maximum protection is what you're after Sukeban is the move. If you think about a design conducive to maximum protection, it will be the one closest to a mudflap/splash guard and that's Sukeban. It's all personal preference like most things.

Do you have any pictures of it on your car that you can share? I would like to purchase a set of these stone guards also. Thank you.

Here's an additional pic for you of the Flapfab guards installed on my car. The fender clips are part # 91501-S04-003 which I ordered from Honda Parts for Less, but all 4 of my original clips survived the install.

True, as with all things, it’s up to personal preference.
Thank you all. Very helpful bunch.

Now I have to figure out how to order them because I don’t use FB or IG.

For Sukeban use this link: https://linktr.ee/sukeban.design

Google Forms ftw!

For Flapfab, order them from @Two Step Performance . Do not order them from Flapfab direct.

Lol 2 of my clips imploded on themselves even with the proper tool. I had to replace them, but lucky enough to have a box of Honda clips ?. I think there is a benefit to having 2 Hondas.

Don't use the "proper "tool - I went and bought one and it broke 2 of those clips. A flathead is more effective and won't break them. Go figure.

I went with the $20 mesh option, if anyone in Miami wants some free guards hit me up I have enough material for a bunch more. To me this makes the most sense if you're not going with a more "mudflap" style like Sukebans, the insert style to me don't justify their expense vs wire mesh.

I tried with a flat head and they still did not budge. They just wanted to be destroyed, that was their purpose in life. Not to hold stuff in place, just to cause chaos and mayhem. ?

 

[TypeRD]

Yeah, I have plastic pry tools and used a flat head as it seemed the better way to go. I still ended up imploding 2 of the fasteners. They just wouldn’t come out without implosion.?

I’m all for DIY, but for the price the flap fab are really good.

Here's another product to add to the consideration set. It appears to be of high quality and it's priced at a premium to FlapFab at $145 shipped. I like that it's aluminum instead of plastic and it comes with the OEM Honda clips that will inevitably implode upon installation. It's not challenging to install but the installation guide with color photos is also a nice touch.
