mud flaps / splash guards
I am an avid motorcyclist and believe that all cars should have some type of mud flap/splash guard on at least the rear wheels. Besides that, they do help to keep my cars cleaner and easier to clean (I drive in all types of weather and like my cars to look clean)
Had a hard time finding any for my 2002 Cab. Finally found a set at www.jaegerbrothers.com - expensive but not aware of any other options. Does anyone know of any?
The JB flaps only fit the rear of my car because of the Aero kit, but I do like the fact that I didn't have to drill anything. Would like something a little bigger though.
If anyone has any other options, I would like to hear about them.

Yeah, hate to be the bearer of bad news and I respect your motorcycle hobby but the reason you couldn't find many mudflap options is because most of us would never put mudflaps on our cars.
They look terrible and you might upset the air flow under the car.
Just my opinion.

Unless things have changes radically in Sweden, last I knew all cars in Sweden are required to have mudflaps which is why Saab and Volvo come with them, and every other car imported to the Scandinavian countries. So, unless Porsche doesn't sell cars in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, or the Netherlands, there should be some flaps made exactly for just about any year Porsche. So maybe you could search in that direction. Plenty of European Porsches have mudflaps. But it is exactly like the rear windshield wiper - if you are not used to seeing them, lots of Americans think it looks wrong or stupid. I'm a fan of the rear wipers, but others pan them. I live in Florida where rain is common. SoCal Rennlisters may be unfamiliar with the phenomenon.

FYI-those mud flaps bear a striking resemblance to some I had on my old TR-6. If they're the "clip-on" variety, be advised that the clips loosen over time, will wear through the paint, and will trap moisture+salt.
