Front mudflaps for a 99 NB

Postby toymx5 » Thu Apr 23, 2009 12:53 am

Hi !

I want to put front mud flaps on my 99 NB but I don't like the look of the NB parts, I prefer the NA ones, does anyone know if NA's will fit on a NB ?

Thanks,

I didn't know NA's had factory front mud flaps?

Yes, I use to have a 90 NA with factory front mudflaps, they go about 2 inches higher up the guard than the NB ones. The look much better, the NB ones stick out at the top, the NA's are a smoother look, more in line with the shape of the guard.

Hi MXHEVN,

Here's photos of a NA and a NB, you'll see the difference in the front mudflaps.

My concern is that the NB has a diffent profile on the guard, it curves in, whereas the NA is straight down.

Doesn't look like it will fit. NB flaps look fine!
