I got these: http://www.jaegerbrothersauto.com/index.php

They really don't look that bad, and they're removable. Takes just a few seconds. The back ones just clip on, and the front ones go under those plastic fasteners that hold the rocker panel on. I don't take mine off, though, and they have stayed on for about 6 months.
I was looking at those and they look better than the factory ones but ........

I have the Ford ones. They are molded in nicely and really keep the rear quarters clean. They aer as wide as the tire under the car so they won't even kick up stuff under the car that would end up on the back of the car while moveing. It is the one concession to the car being a DD.
.........Which ones are better??? I live in Ohio and we get the snow and salt soI agree, as a DD that's the price I'm going to pay to keep my stang looking good. I plan on only keeping them on during the winter. Any opinions as to which are better?
Here's a couple of pictures that may give you an idea. I really don't think they stick out at all. They are the same color as the tire, so I think they're hardly noticeable. I like the way the Ford ones look, but these were really easy to install, and just as easy to take off again. Anyway, here's pictures of my car:



This second picture is not exactly a show off picture of my car, but it was the only one I could find that shows the splash guards from the back. I think we were unpacking from a road trip.

I have the jeager bros flaps on my stang. Some people may say no way to them but if they save my car from all the rocks and tar thrown up on the highways in the NJ/NY metro area then I say Yes!

Here are a few pics. And they remove in less then a minute.

I dunno, don't think I like the splash guards. Not saying they look bad or anything, just not for me.

Did you trim you rear ones? Mine comes out a bit more...or maybe it's an optical illusion...

I really don't see the point in the GT 500 ones. Looks like the inner fender protection has come loose and migrated outwards.
