Splash guards.

[daytripper]

I always try to protect my cars and splash guards really help.I tried to buy some and they are not available. I looked at my car and see 2 reasons why: 1, I dont see any reasonable way to mount them.The liners are unlike any I've had. 2, The way this car is made,I dont see any way the tires can throw stones on the side or back of the car.It flares out and any thing that goes past the flare will be far enough out to miss the car.
I think I saved a few bucks.

The rock chip in the paint on my rear quarter fender begs to differ lol

Rock throwing...

The first thing I noticed when I inspected the 2015 MUstang was the obvious 'sight line' from the tires to the car sides. Take a straight ruler and lay it on the front fender or rear quarter panel. If the ruler can touch rubber you are eventually going to get a rock chip. While I was looking at it...the Mustang salesman came over and commented that the first 'add-on' that I should buy should be Ford Molded Splash Guards. I informed him that they weren't being made. He just shook his head.

Front guards would be easy to mount: there are pop-off fasteners on the well liners. But the rear wheel wells are something else. It's as if Ford decided that road debris can just do some sand blasting up into the rear of the fender well. The only anchor point I can find is the fender well rim. Maybe this is why no manufacturer, including Ford, has come out with molded guards...no way to really anchor the rear guards.

ATTENTION VENDORS!! THERE IS A MARKET FOR SPLASHGUARDS!!!!!

Seriously, we can get carbon fiber this and that, engine dress up, performance parts, hood struts, bushings, springs, why can't someone produce a simple SPLASHGUARD?? (Set of 4 please) End of rant LOL

Well,I could be wrong. I really hate chips and have splash guards on all my cars.The fronts look like an easy install, the backs,not so much. The weird material and shape of the rear liner will take some doing.
I would settle for just fronts.

Rear is what will get you. You power through a loose section of road and your back tires will spin and kick up way more.

Maybe RallyArmor will do something. With so many *****s and "hardcore rally drivers" switching from Subaru's and Evo's to the Ecoboost...they're has to be a market for big ugly mud flaps! :lol: They already make them for the Fiesta and the Focus....

If something decent looking and conservative came out I may be up for them, as well.

Splash Guards...

I guess I would rather have some nicely fit splash guards than multiple pitted side panels. I have splash guards on my 2010 and they certainly don't look like the mud flaps that I have on my F250.

I know, I'm not against splash guards. You must have never seen an Evo or STI with massive ugly mud flaps that every ricer drools over for some reason.

While I liked the Rokblokz I had on my FoST, I think something more subtle would work better on the S550.

I am thinking more like the slightly larger than stock ones I had on my GT500.

Slightly larger splash guards.

"2cool": my 2010 GT had molded splash guards on both rear and front. They extended slightly farther out than the ones shown on your photo.
I will be buying a set of 2014 Ford front splash guards if I have to. I would expect that there would be more road debris thrown up in the front because of the wheels being able to turn out.
I was hoping that Ford would have made some for the 2015, since the final design dimensions have been out for nearly two years now. Oh, well, I guess Ford is making enough profit not to worry about making an inexpensive 'accessory'.

For 05-14 Mustangs from Ford.

I don't think that the splash guards for my 2010 GT were from Ford.

If your photo is of standard Ford Splash Guards, mine are not a Ford product.
I know mine were called molded splash guards. They fit tight into the sheet metal seam at the wheel well. They also don't extend downward as far as those in the photo.
I wish I remembered the manufacturer...I would send them an email to see if they are planning on making some for the 2015.

Josh at RPI designs emailed me and said they should have some available next week and apologized for the delay. I'm waiting to see if he can provide more details about the product.

I've used RPI ones on a few cars.They are very small and barely noticeable.
