Mud Flaps - anybody use them ?

[shelbywannabe]

They look like the ones I have. The Z1 Guards. I dont even notice mine any more so they are not an eyesore at all and blend well with the plastic thats on the car

Just got my ZL1 Add-on set set. I was going to wait to see what the CPC guards looked like, but I couldn't wait. I'm glad I got the ZL1s. My rear wheels need some serious coverage and those CPC's look like they are a bit lacking.

Anchor Room Film for front and rear quarter-panels just came in as well. I will be installing both within a few days and will post pics.

Did you get the mud guards on?

[MENTION=18650]MaskedRacerX[/MENTION] Just checking in to find out how the mud guard installation went and if you have any pics to share?

OMG, I suck :lol:

I've been really busy, this past weekend we went non-stop. I work out of the house, so I generally have time, but today I was delivering a major code update (and holding the client's hand ... ) , and then tomorrow I'm giving my Mom a hand with a doctors appointment.

What I'm trying to do is get a day where I have enough time to do it all at once, no interruptions, and time to shoot some video and photos of install.

I _did_ do a trial fitment, I really like how they look, the exposed/backside matches the side skirt color pretty good and it has a light texture - it's a little different vs. the skirts, but at a foot away it's really close match.

Arent those similar to the RPI ones?

I haven't installed mine, but they look the same...using long screws and spacers for the rear.

No problem, if you say they look good, I guess I can't really go far wrong. I'm ordering now. I have another trip to Texas coming up and I have installed 1" spacers on the front wheels. I need the protection.

Hmm, they look a bit like them, it's hard to say without seeing them uninstalled. Sounds like the mounting is about the same.

Yeah, heck, sorry I didn't get a chance to install them yet. If I wind up getting them installed and can share any notes, I'll post them up here.

They are! Just this past week - I did the fronts on Monday, and then I needed to get my new tires installed, so I put the rear on stands, pulled both wheels took them and the new tires to a tire shop and that killed two birds so to speak.

I'll post up some pics later today, but I've got to say, the fitment, install and final results are pretty terrific.

:cheers:

My nephews own several plastic molding companies...they thank you for paying $50 or more for 25 cents of plastic. There still aren't any molded splash guards available, even tho' Ford promised there would be in early 2015. I guess they will have them ready by the time the new design model comes out.

Installed mine last year when I added spacers. I got them from Walmart for $9

Front: Drilled pilot holes and then affixed them with self tappers and some double sided tape.

Rear: I used framing brackets with doubled sided tape and self tappers to attach them.

Here's some install pics:
