guys
I have a 12 gt with brembo wheels which stick out from wheel arches in the rear, when ever I drive on a wet road, wheels are splashing all the mud on my paint, if I install these oem gt500 mud flaps, will they cover the wheels and completely hold the mud splashing from the tires or are there any better ones

Sai, I would really only stick with Ford OEM on this one. It does a good job of keeping the lower rear clear of dirt. And, of course, the fit is perfect. See my pic from earlier in this thread:

See my sig...255/40 19...same as yours. Search the forum for more opinions & pics. These OEM rear flaps are standard on the GT500, which uses a 285 or 295 tire width. How much mud are you running through, anyways??!! LOL

I just bought mine from my Ford dealer for $27.13 each. Easy to install. I used a 90 degree phillips head screw driver. Unless you are looking for them you would not even know they were on the car. Just big enough to do the job.

I ended up Doing the same, have yet to install. Couldn't find my 90 degree screwdriver of course. Only when I need stuff. Gotta swap wheels soon anyway.

Screwdriver and your all set! Easy install.
Either keep the tires on an use a right angle screwdriver or take the rear wheels off for a real easy install and give your wheels a good detail while off

Finally got them on today after putting my factory CS wheels back on because I dont trust the dealership with them lol. Anyway, here's a few crappy iPhone pics:
After I looked at them it's real hard to see. I was rushing to finish up. I'll get better ones

I order all my OEM parts from Steve @ Towsley. Best pricing I've found . . .

Glad I found this.. Just ordered the Mud Guards and Boss 302 Rear valance. Just $7 more for all of it than just the Valance alone at other places.
Edit.. well the Rear Valance is a no go.. Price is great but they want $100 to ship it. I can find the valance at other places that come out cheaper with shipping prices.
