Default Mup Flap Options

I just put wider wheels and tires on the rear. The tires are spitting much more road dirt onto the rear bumper and now i realize why the GT500 has those mud flaps.

What options do i have for mud flaps. I think the GT500 mud flaps will fit my car and they are about $25 dollars per side. They are going to come in black plastic i think, i would want them painted.

There is also a kit for 45 dollars for GT mudflaps with and with out the pony emblem. But i want the best looking one.

What do you reccomend?

is there a difference between the flaps for the gt and the flaps for the gt500?

They are different part numbers in the computer at ford.

I hve a V6 but saw some online for the V6.

How hard are they to attach?

Much you drill, or can you use existing screws.

I know there are two screws for the bumper in the wheel well area in the rear - are those used?

I can't remember if there are any screws in the front wheel area...

I reused the existing hardware in the rear wheel well area...the only thing you have to do is get creative with the install because half of the mudflap is textured plastic and the other half is smooth. I modified mine so the area where the two parts of the mudflap came together folloed the line of the rear bumper
