One more picture.

Don't worry about the no flappers. I posted pictures on another board and got a lot of negative responses. It's okay though our paint will be safe theirs wont.

 

Thanks for the post, I've been thinking about them since our last test drive that was in the snow, ice & slush with parking lot testing. Long story short the car was a mess, I wonder how much the flaps would help?

 

That stuff is great but it is also far beyond the price of splash guards. When I have the money I'll probably do it though.

 

Heath, if it is gonna be done thats how to do it, low-key, black, understated...looks good. I've considered mud flaps, wasn't sure how they would look, may give it a try now, thanks!

 

Thanks, I'm happy to help.

Heath - they look great, and you're exactly right about paint damage over time. I don't think I could bear it (or the price of the clear sheeting right now, I'm Mustang broke!!). And your front ones....I'm off to the store for something just like 'em. Nice and subtle, they go pretty good with that little lip that Ford provides. Thanks for the pics

 

 

If you need them, get them. I dont think they look bad. I dont need them, but if I did, you would bet I would be getting them.

Way to do whats best for you and your Pony!

 

B) We had the x-pel installed several weeks ago on front of hood, front bumper, headlights lights, fog lights, Front signal lens, side rocker panels, rear wheel well and lower quarter panel to avoid chips and sand blasting. It is pricy but felt like it was worth it living at the beach with all the sand.
Tried to take photos of ours but it doesn't show well .... duuuuuh, it's clear and if done properly you can't see anything except the reveal line. And once you're 3 feet away it disappears unless the light hits it right.

Here's another site with a lot of photos: http://www.autoclearguard.com./gallery.html

 

If fronts are available I say you should get them. I already have stone chips on the c pillar, just behind each door. The front tires contantly throw stones up against the side of the car. Time for a ground effects kit to help prevent further stone chips.....

 

I have been interested in the X-pel as well. If it is really hard to see from a "normal" distance than it is worth it to me. Being in the military everytime I move I never know where the new "home" is going to be or what the road conditions are going to be like. Would much rather protect the paint, even if it costs a fair amount, than to go without.

I don't think the mudflaps are bad, they are just not for me. I will have to wait and see how much the ground effects protect the side of the car, but I definitely want something on the front.

Thanks for posting any opinions on the X-pel.

 

The prefer the black mudflaps better. They blend in with the tire more. Less noticible.

 

the mudflaps on the legend lime are fine, but no offense heath, your's aren't....they take away to much from the car....IMO of course

 

That does it!!!! Thanks Adrenalin, just what I needed to hear. Those little black front ones ARE going on. Heaths are pretty hard to see, nice and subtle, and much better grimacing a little at those than stone chips down the side of the car.

Great info

 

With the risk of giving away my age, I lived in the days of 68 Camaro's, 69 Mach 1's and 69 Chevelles. My '66 Mustang was only 9 years old when I got it. Mud flaps were a standard customization in those days. Chrome, black, whatever. We put them on because we thought they looked good. I still think they look good - and I like them on your cars.

 

I believe they are a must if you enjoy breaking traction now and again. The tiny particles of tar and stones that get thrown from the tire treads will chip and mar your paint. First mod I did and the black looks great on the silver.

 

That's okay, everyone has their opinion. Unfortunatly they don't always agree with mine. That's to bad because of course I'm always right!

 

I still have a pair of black ones to put on mine, just havent gotten around to it yet.
they dont look as bad as others have said.

 

Living in the country, on a gravel road, I was also wondering about flaps for my GT.

As it has been said, they are easily installed; therefore, they must be easily removable for those times when you don't need/want them - car shows, etc. At least the paint will be protected, and will look nicer when you do show your car, or just want it to look stock.

I took one slow spin around the 'block' - actually, a concession, and the rear tires do throw a lot of stuff up onto the body.

Thanks for posting the pics. They look nice on your LLG GT.

 

The rear mud flaps are from the accessories catalog? Where did you get the front ones from? I saw that they have to be modified, but I agree that anything that keeps the paint nice will help.

I could use these until I get some of the X-pel for the car. As stated above, you can always remove them for car shows since they are so easy of an install.
