Default Mud flaps

I have some vinyl stripes on the rear of my car that will get torn up the first time I do a burnout unless I get mudflaps. I'd like some that are super easy to install and look good. Any recommendations???

I useed these: Splash Guards, Molded - With Vehicle Logo Rear Pair, Black, For Use With V6 Engine Only - BLACK
from here:
http://partscheap.com/mustangaccessories05.htm

It took 10 minutes to put them on. They use the existing screws that are already in the fender.

If you can wait I'm going to be selling some on Ebay after Thanksgiving, assuming I get them in.
These are off the new GT500. They don't protest the rear as much as my old, molded splash guards, but I thought those were just too wide and not a part of the clean look I wanted after tearing off my side stripes. I'll be selling my used ones too, but I have a feeling you'll want new ones.
One big difference = the GT500's have small holes that line up good but there is a rectangular hole in the middle where there is a clip that attaches to the inside of the wheel well. The regular GT's have holes that were too big and I had to find washers to keep the stock fender screws attached to them.

it's going to depend on how many I get in.
Probably start bids at 99 cents, and see what happens.
I've seen them going for everywhere from $13-71!
Gotta love eBay! All those dozens of aftermarket Mustang sites and none of them are selling these.

Ok, I finally got a pair of the GT500 rear mudflaps (splash guards) up on eBay. Starts at 99 cents.

Depending on how this one does I might switch to a Buy It Now pricing.

Mud flaps belong on your grandfather's Crown Victoria, not a Mustang, IMO.

Definitely go for the splashguards.
They look factory.
The mudflaps look horrible, in my opinion.
