hawgman, thanks for clearing that up, I've heard both ways but your pics take away any doubts. these are a lot less noticable than the other big ones. I believe the price is a lot less too.

Thanks,

Well I'll be... they do fit.

I do see a slight gap where the GT bumper cuts in. You can kind of see the middle clip slot. If you don't mind the slight gap, you can live with them. On a Black or Alloy car you will never notice.

I'll let our accessory dept know they will bolt to the regular GT bumpers.

Thanks for posting the photos.

i will post pics of mine, i just installed the GT splash guards on my Black GT, they look like they belong there and i am thinking of painting them to fit better but i will have to think on that since i might get the GT500 bumper sometime next year

I was going to modify them to fit and just re- drill the holes and do some trimming to make it look right but i put that little project on hold because I might be installing the GT/CS bumper anyway

As for the clip, I reversed it and slid it behind the fender so that it held the center of the splash guard in place.

They look good to me. Will they do as good a job of deflecting dirt/rocks as the bigger ones? Is it better to get them from Ford or Ebay?

Hmmm, maybe I'll have to stock both into my mod inventory and just figure out which seems best. That nasty little hole might bother me, at least a little. Darntootin, shoulda bought the GT500 to go with these mud guards I have here!
