Default Front splash guards for the S197?

I've been reading that there aren't any mounting locations for front splash guards on the S197. Has anyone tried a custom guard up front? I'm thinking something low-profile like the shelby guards in the rear.

I saw a post before but I know you can modify the rear GT 500 splash guards to fit the front... maybe drill another hole or something, cant find the post but I think 06elnr has some on the front of his....

I put them on mine. I used the rocker mounting clips and Had to drill 1 hole to mount them. Had to take tires off to do it but I think it is well worth it.

Ford Accessories are listing these flaps for front use,kinda big.Go to "exterior" and you'll find them there.

Very nice! Did you use the GT500 splash guards to do this? Do you have any pics?

Any pics? I realy need front splash guards, driving to work every day my car gets hit by dirt and rocks on the sides. It would be nice to divert them.

I was thinking of using a pair of the flat ones on the front. But a set that is hard plastic would look and work much better.

I have these on my stang. Got them from Yeager Bros. They clip on the rear and the front clip on as well but you have to also remove those push rivits that hold the lower molding, mount the flap and replace the rivits. Here are pictures of the front & rear.
