I found that these small splash guards really work well even with wider tires. Less road tar and less chip on the plastic rockers. The side splitter also helps.

I installed those small splash guards myself yesterday, they match the rears in shape and contour and are hardly noticeable. I wanted to ask you was it a pain to install the side splitters and did you do the rears too?

The side splitters are not too hard to install. Pulling out the push pins are a PITA though. You really have to make sure that where the 3m tape sticks is free of dirt and wax.
I also did the rears last spring.

Wow your car is only 2 days old. Congrats!!!!

Ha thanx man, was pretty quick. So the sides are no drill? I know the rears have to be drilled but wasn't sure about the sides. LOL, I'm still free of dirt and crap so that shouldn't be an issue. Appreciate you taking the time to answer me.

Sorry there is drilling but it's plastic so it's easy.

I cut some aluminum window screen and placed it in front of the radiator and openings in the front facia of my 2014 Shelby GT500. I used black tie raps to hold the screen in place. The Shelby looked like a race car before and now it looks like a full blown race car. The contrast of the aluminum screen against the black is just awsum. I put the screen on just to keep the bugs out of the radiator fins, but I ended up enhancing the appearance to boot.

No. I've got a 2011 SGM coupe. We were at a car show. He's hooked on Thomas train stuff and trying to open him up to mustangs.

I taught my 60 year old father how to finally drive a stick. Was actually kinda fun...brought out his inner child!!! He never drove a manual ever and I must say he did pretty good, only stalled it once in an hour and a half.
