On G503 DDTrustee said the FAV mud skirts are made from some sort of rubber conveyer belt material (that is expensive).

This company specializes in recycling/repurposing of industrial materiel including a large selection of multiple ply 1/4" to 1" thick conveyer belt rubber, in various widths and lengths, some as short as 30 ft to several hundred feet. I don't know if it might be worth buying a roll to cut down into smaller pieces for FAV owners to make their own mud skirts.

jshull said his mud flaps are 3/8" thick.

My calculations for the rear is 14.5" wide x 46" long

The fronts, 15.75" at the square front edge, 23.75" at the widest point where they bolt to the cargo bins, 55" long on the outside edge, 51.5" on the inside edge.

Each car is going to need approximately 17ft of 24" wide 3/8" thick conveyor. Example this 3/8" wide 24" x 40ft will yield enough for 2 cars plus some extra. $321, including shipping for 214lbs.
