GT 500 splash guards
so i had a local dealer order me this
AR3Z-16A550-AA
AR3Z-16A550-AB
so i get a call and say uh...they are here...all three of them
so i got the left one...and a set of molded ones with the pony on them and the part number on the package is AR3Z-16A550-AA...when it should be AC...on the molded ones
i took this picture in to show them (i got from here)
and he said his supplier insists that their part numbers are right...with the AA being the molded pair
so now i am at a standstill because the supplier doesnt know what the hell i am talking about and cant find a right one

The exact same thing happened to me here in Ontario Canada. Dealer told me that a bunch of the AC's were marked with AA part #'s. Dealer had the correct one within two days. He did say that some type of corrective action was being taken as a result. Someone with "eyes" had to sort the Toronto warehouse to correct the labels and find the correct AA (right) to match the AB (left). This happened about two months ago for me. Problem might have been sufficiently corrected! Ya think?

I got mine yesterday and installed it on my 2011 V6. Like already mentioned, they fit perfectly and they are not hard to install, if you got the right tools. Since I currently don't have a car jack and remove the tires I had to buy an offset screw driver. You can also use a small socket wrench with a phillips screw driver adapter.

I had the same issue today at my dealer here in VA. Got the molded ones for the AA part. Waiting for the AB part to come in so I can show the parts person what the deal is with these. Frustrating....

Which are these based off? Or is it just a generic blend for all ranges- as a Ford aftermarket add on?

Time for a wash, but these guards are great, low key but effective
newpony is correct about the installation, a small socket with a phillips bit will make quick work of the job.
