For those of you that have installed them are you completely satisfied and happy with them??? Do they actually work in keeping the gravel from splattering all over the rockers of the car??? I just got word that my car will be built within the next 2 weeks so now its getting really close.

One of the first purchases I made for my car. These are one of the best available designs when it comes to quality and effectiveness. Be prepared to remove the rear wheels when installing.
The fronts are easier as you can just turn the wheels to gain access to the wheel well.

They work great. If I had to nitpick 1 thing and there is only 1 thing I don't like about them... tiny pebbles find their way in between the front flap and the bottom of the fender because on mine, there is a tiny gap here. To get them out I have to pull the flaps away a little while blasting them out with the hose. Two ways to fix that I haven't bothered doing. 1. Adding a thin piece of foam to the back of the flaps to close the gap. 2. Heat mold the flaps so they hug the front fender better.

Other than that, go for them. They look great and I have no rock chips anywhere that I can see.

Todd: Perzactly the issue I have and I too haven't dealt with it, yet. I should have heated them during the install and made sure they held the curve. As it is, the passenger side bracket I attached broke due to flexing stress so I have to fix that as well.

Waiting on our bud at Signature to get the new lugs to me so I can kill three birds (or a couple more,) with one lift. :-)

I ended up sticking some rubber gasket to the backside, blocking the chance for pebbles to get in there. Seems to be working pretty good.

Please don't take my comments personally but these appear to me to be nothing more than a piece of plastic? Not much dissimilar than cheap $10 generic mudflaps you can get at any auto-parts store. Granted i assume they are specific shape and mounting included. Don't get me wrong i assume they are 100% functional and serve there purpose just not sure i can handle the looks......

I would never be critical of your post because Iam looking for good old fashioned "Honesty". I have always had "Mixed Emotions" of Mud Flaps on a Muscle Car. It sounds like they are far from being perfect if pebbles are getting caught behind them. On their website the only application they have listed is the 350 and 350R. So I "assume" they will fit but you know what they say about "assume" don't you??? LOL

Yeah something about 'mudflaps' and muscle cars that just doesn't work for me. They certainly should protect but so would these :)

Well, the entire lower trim, sides, rear, front splitter, it's all plastic, so it's not like you're introducing a material that's not already present, and they even match the inner/outer texture of the OEM plastic pretty well.

Honestly, on a larger wheel/tire fitment, they disappear. I'm running a 20x10 ET35, 20x11 ET50 (285/305 35 series) and they're not even all that visible. If you see any of the installed pics on a OEM GT wheel setup, they're way more obvious - and I'd assume with even more rubber like a GT500, they'd be even less conspicuous. :like:

IS the S550 or even gt350/500 more susceptible to rock chips than other cars? I have quite a few sports cars, admittedly they don't get a ton of drive time, nor will my GT500 but i can't say any of them have any appreciable rock chips on them from the wheels.....now the front bumpers all show signs of use and plenty of rock chips.

PTD: No doubt this car is less susceptible up front than others with the fender fading inward. But my OCD won't tolerate even one chip if it can be avoided. :-)

And for sure using the foam block routine and avoiding the rock guards completely would still keep the pebbles out.
