Default BEST MUD FLAPS / SPLASH GUARDS

I want to put front and rear flaps on my 2007 GT / CS. The only ones I've found so far are from Jaeger Brothers. Is anyone familiar with these? Are there others that I'm not aware of? I'm looking for some that do the job, look good, and are easy to install.

I use the Jaeger Bros. flaps. I get them from AM. Easy to install but a little pricey for what they really are. I daily drive my car all year so the Jaegers only last a couple years, then they start cracking. I dont mind having to replace them once in awhile when I think about all the crap they keep from slinging all over the sides of the car. If you get them, remember to check the rears regularly because they are just a slip fit and can loosen up and fall off. Easy to tighten back up though, only takes a little squeeze of the part that slips on.
Ford does make some rear flaps that look like they are a little more robust but way more expensive than the Jaegers.

Thanks.
Might be a silly question...but can they be installed without removing the tires?

No need to remove tires. Backs are no problem at all and on the fronts you just have to turn the wheel all the way to the other side for each. Helps to have a stubby Philips head screwdriver.

Install time on backs is mere seconds and fronts are maybe 5-10 minutes at the very most

Thank you. I'll get them ordered then. This is my first Mustang, sure looking forward to Spring. I just picked it up last Friday.

Not a pic specifically of the flaps but you can kind of see them. They are generally not that noticeable.

Very nice car. I'm sold on the flaps. They aren't that noticeable but look like they'll keep the car cleaner. I'm going to take care of my new ride, but it won't be sitting in the garage once the sun comes back out and the snow melts, I'm going to enjoy it rain or shine.

I personally really like the Ford Racing GT500 mudflaps for the rear. Greatly reduced the mud and splash since I mounted fatter rear tires
