Heh...   think wall dressing.

Yep.

Nope.

Not on a bet.

Besides, my mudflaps come from the lot of a trucking company not far from 
here which is always having a mudflap ripped off a trailer one way or 
another and it just lies in the lot on the pavement until somebody snatches 
it up and sails it over to the curb whereupon I come along later and police 
it up.  The chrome ladies are usually found on the tractor and never on a 
trailer.   First mudflap chunk I started reusing came from a truckdriver 
bud of mine who pointed out how handy the stuff is for lots of things.   He 
had a make-do hinge on his utility toolbox in his truck tractor made from a 
piece of mudflap.   He passed on a while back, so I now have to find 
mudflaps elsewhere.

Still have a batch of mudflap material on hand for most things like 
repairing muffler hangers and fabricating rubber-bumpers for (last time I 
used a chunk) stuff like clutch pedal stops etc, a plug of the mudflap and 
a touch of superglue and the bumper-stop situation is resolved.   Likewise 
most anything else you might need a chunk of tough rubber mat for.
