I trust you called DM already? I thought they still had them in stock or at least a low amount of them.

You do know that people on this Forum are allergic to paying retail for anything.

Well, DM does only direct sales...meant no dealers. So the options here are few. I have contacts and might be able to check on whether or not they have these in stock.

This one, right?

I don't think they were necessarily designed as mudflaps. If I remember correctly, that design was carried over from the Gran Sports

Bob Johnson is the co-owner of Accurate Miniatures and the designer behind the grand sport kit.

I know Bob...and trust me...if he designs a high detail kit, it is high detail!
