GT Splash Guards

Can someone give me advice on which set of splash guards to add to my 12 GT? I went to the dealer yesterday but the parts guy told me there is no kit available for a GT only for a V6. What's up with that?

(I did order a set of those Boss coil covers - my first mod. Ha!)

IMO, the best ones for the 2010-2012 GT are the GT500 ones, from Ford.
Stock Shelby GT500 OEM parts, from Ford dealer:
AR3Z16A550AA - Mudflap, L - $27.13
AR3Z16A550AB - Mudflap, R - $27.13
Easy, do-it-yourself installation. Pics of mine, before & after:


Here's a very good thread on this topic, with lots of opinions:

^ I have these also. You can see from PJR's pics they use existing screws no drilling. If you decide to buy these, I would highly recommend removing the rear tires/wheels first

I have the GT500s as well. Your dealer just looked in the computer probably and doesnt know about the GT500 ones fitting on the GT. They are subtle but useful and look good.

Under "Exterior Modifications" there's a few threads. A lot of stuff on this forum is in specific categories to make it easier to find. Here's the link:

I wish I would have searched through the forums before I made the mistake of ordering the wrong mud guards.

me just got these off ebay for about 50 bucks. Worth it for those track days. I won't have to resort to the nancy-boy alternative of running green painter's tape all over the rear lowers, like I've seen some of the Challenger guys do.

Do these really help keeping stuff off your car?

Seems like it would just keep dirt from kicking up on the bottom of the rear bumper, which always happens to me.

See the link I posted several posts up. Thats the other thread. I like mine. They work and they look good too. Subtle but other mustang guys noticed them right away and likes them

I can report these as a 5 minute install per side, as long as the wheel's off. three screws, factory holes, a little spring clip to hold it in place while you put them in. Subtle and should keep DR schmutz off my rear lower 1/4.

I was looking at a 2010 GT500 at the track friday and they are, indeed, identical to those.

They're the exact same ones.

Anyone have the issue with the bumper at the top of the splash guard being loose and protruding out the slightest bit? Mine doesn't line up perfectly and If u pull on it it will easily come away from the car.

Would there be any reason these wouldn't fit and look good on a 6 spd manual V6 with the performance package (19" wheels)? I think they'd be perfect, but am still learning. Thanks in advance!

They would be perfect. Go for it. They fit any 2010 and up Mustang. They blend right in so most people would think they came like that stock.
