I fitted genuine Volvo flaps to my last car (V70) and the Chinese ones I fitted today to my V90 seemed virtually identical in all respects apart from a 4th fixing point on the rear flaps. Without doubt they are just as rigid and well produced. They even have those funny codes moulded into the plastic with production codes. That said, £53 for four fairly small pieces of injection moulded plastic seems pricey but I remember when I didn't earn that in a month. (and beer was 1/8 (8p a pint)).

They look more or less identical to mine. Of course mine are on an XC90 which might make a difference.

I haven't looked into the options for soundproofing materials although I know there's some stuff designed for auto applications. (Of course it could be no better than anything else and they just charge a price premium for it.)
I found these pics where someone had put 2 layers of sound deadening material on the front wheel arches. _

You don't need to remove the trim but fairly sure the mudflaps have to come off. The liners are held in place by about 8 (plastic?) fixings/screws. Iirc the front liners are one piece and the rear ones are two piece.

Just to wrap my contributiòn to this topic up. Did about 175 miles today, mostly motorway. I couldn't discern any difference in road noise since fitting mudflaps. (V90).
