What the heck's wrong with you people? Just because you don't want something doesn't mean somebody else would. I saw some mud flaps on a Stang at a Mustang meet in my area a couple of months ago. It looked great. Replies like get a Kenworth or a John Deere show your first grade mentality. If you don't have decent input, STFU.

But that would eliminate 3/4s of all the posts here!
Maybe we need to charge for non-helpful input???

When a pinhead says that splash guards belong on a truck I just point out the GT500 to them and they will usually STFU!


I put the GT500 Splash Guards on my GT after getting tired of the Val look of the wide, molded ones I first put on. Certain colors of Mustangs will show dirt easier than others and my yellow would get real dusty behind the rear wheels. That area is a magnet for dust. Just check your next time you wash your car and then drive for just 1/2 an hour. I imagine for wide rear tires it is even more so.
If I drove through any water it would turn the dust into ugly black spots. The wide splash guards that are widely available in the aftermarket do a great job of keeping that area clean. Here's mine from 3 years ago:

If you care about the finish of your car and drive on gravel or just hate having to detail that area every single day these are a good choice.
I got tired of the look and when the GT500 ones became available put a pair of those on without modifying them. They don't stick out too badly. More than on the GT500 or GT/CS but since it seems to still work pretty well I haven't trimmed them, which would make them stick out less.

Guys, the mud flaps are especially nice to avoid rock chips on the rear valence. Especially when you are running 285 or 295 tires.

Come on children, get with the program.

They should be called rock/debris flaps for the mustangs.
Who would drive their Mustang thru the mud?

Thanks. Do they actually stop mud from getting on the back lower panel? They look awful small.
