I had them fitted since November and they still look as good once cleaned.

You will need a ramp to fit them properly, i did try fitting them without a ramp but was a pain.

Took me 1.5 hours to fit them and not a hard job to do tbh.

fitting of them are PERFECT couldnt fault them at all.

Yes, aside from Prodrive we were the first to sell flaps made from the Kaylan material, back in 2002 or so.

is there really that much difference in the more expensive "kaylan" ones?
just cant get my head round why they are almost double the price?

if the kaylan ones are less flexible , are they more prone to breaking?

in your opinion are the kaylan ones worth the extra cost and why?
thanks.

the prodrive flaps were indeed far far better quality than the cheaper ones and much thicker and stiffer. i guess the cheaper ones might blow up backwards when driving at high speed, am i right ?
the cheaper ones looked very smart though mate... as you can see on my old R.

yep,i assume that the kaylan ones sold by performace creations are identical to the kaylan scoobyworld ones.
they are both priced the same and look the same,dont think it makes any odds where you buy them from.

No - different shape, ours use the genuine Subaru fixing clips, different fixing method at the rears and last time I looked our brackets were thicker.
