Thanks for posting the install instructions... great help!!! Did anyone notice that they actually throw out a splitter in Step 2 (for 2012 Boss)? Guess somebody at Ford was already calculating that one or the other will hit the curb or is going through a dip or two... Just funny!

BTW... looks like newfordparts.com also has the mudflaps for a really decent price... $ 39.00 for the pair!
Yes, and they are actually not far from me. I called them and got the internet price for a local pick up. One of the few part sites I found that does a 20% discount on parts, not 10% like most others. They had the CS lower fascia in stock, and the parts reps have been very knowledgable from my experiences so far. Thanks to Rob @ Varsity, he was the one who gave me the part number I needed to order this.

Which mud flaps were you looking at? The GT500 ones or the Accessory ones?

I thought they were both the same part # for the flaps, no? The number I got is AR3Z-16A550-AC, which is the set for R and L side.

Eventually I want to get the GT500 diffuser style rear fascia, but don't have it yet...

Do you have a different part #?

Thanks for all your help...


What about shipping costs @ newfordparts.com? Reasonable?

Which mud flaps do you want? If you want the accessory ones with the pony on them, then you have the right part #.

If you want the ones that are std. on the Boss 302/GT500, you want;
AR3Z-16A550-AA (left)
AR3Z-16A550-AB (right)

These will fit without the GT500 rear fascia, so you can utilize them now if you choose.

Re: shipping costs from newfordparts.com, I can't comment. I live close enough that I just call and order and pick it up locally. You might want to put an order together and run through the check out and see what shipping comes up for you.

I'll pick it up first thing tomorrow and have it on by dinner time tomorrow. Saves me $20 and doesn't take more than 15 min. to get there.

Just got back from picking up the splitter. Comes in a small flat box with the Ford Accessory stamp on it. I'm heading out now to start the install, I'll post pics once it's on.

Well, its on. Took longer than I thought, but I was cautious and measuring several times before drilling. It is on there tight and doesn't move at all. I'll post pics once I upload them.

After a quick rinse:


I did vary from the instructions a bit. When you're marking the holes for the 16 bolts and clips, I used a clip flipped opposite of how it's mounted to make sure my holes were the correct depth. There are location tabs on the underside edge of the CS fascia that show you where roughly the clips go, I used these as a reference before I started drilling.Also, a second set of hands is key. I put the car up on my Rhino ramps and did the work underneath. Taking time to line everything up and make sure it sits right is key.

If anyone wants other angles, let me know. I love the look, especially with my Roush side splitters. This basically completes my exterior mods.
