Do you guys have the part #'s for the GT and GT500 splash guards? Dealerships up here don't have a clue and want to be sure I order the right ones.

Since it appears I never posted pics in this thread, might as well do it now

After doing some research I discovered that the GT/CS rear fascia w/ air diffuser is the same as the one on the GT500, just painted differently ( the blacut on the side is body color on the CS)
I decided that for $12.50, this would be a good mod.
If you want to add these without taking off the wheel, you will need a right-angle phillips screw driver
sorry about any blur. Iwas playing with the wide angle lens on my D80
Before I began:
So then I removed the screws hoding the fascia to the fender (trust me, it won't fall off), and then I washed and waxed the area the splash guard would cover.
Then I clipped it onto the bumper (the clip is on the splash guard) and replaced the screws
After:
So there you are. They don't draw the eye at all. In fact, I would say the car looks better with them on. Plus, it's a nice, cheap mod that will save you from scrubbing off any splash back you may get.

RE: Mudflaps
I don't have a pic at the moment, but check out Jaeger Bros. http://www.jaegerbrothersauto.com/index.php. I'm sporting a set of their flaps, they're pretty nice. They're pretty thin, so from the side profile, you can hardly tell they're on. I decided I didn't care what people said about mud flaps, cause I'm running a 295 tire on the back. The reduction in debris and dirt being kicked onto the rear quarter panel is significantly less with them on. Just an idea....They have pics of them on our mustangs on their website.
