Mud Flap / Splash Guard Options - Recommendations?

[jordantii]

I also installed the tailgate mat from Triple A. The tailgate mat holes did not align even when stretching the outer top two to fit the holes, the rest of the inner holes do not align

Also confirm they need to cut a little bit off the top as it does not fit tonneau covers.

I was sent a free one to test and provided feedback to the company .. let's hope they tweak it.

With that said, if anyone wants to pay for shipping and does not have a tonneau cover, they can have this tailgate mat

I told them the same thing. I was able to strectch it to align the holes but that's not what they want. The feedback should help them.

I just installed the Weathertech no drill on Sunday. Took me maybe 45 min for all 4. They look great and super functional.

Installed a set of the Ford Performance mud flaps on my wife's white 25 RR and not only do they look good but they're super easy peasy to install.

I was NOT a fan of the factory running boards so those came off as soon as I got it home from the dealer. It's one of those beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I think these RR's look better with them off and though I'm generally not a fan of how mud flaps look on a vehicle I think my wife's RR actually looks better with these Ford Performance mud flaps installed. The only downside to them is they are ridiculously priced but then again what hell isn't anymore.

I too prefer the running boards off, but learned the hard way they do really protect the back fenders, way more then the splash guards.

I have the splash guards on, and PPF still getting a lot of damage on the back fenders.

This is the damages incurred after only 1 year and 10k miles without the steps on.
Note the PPF line and the rock chips that managed to hit above the PPF.

Getting ready to have the PPF pulled and re-installed this time going a bit higher up the fender.

Honestly, with as ultra thin as the paint is on these things I am not surprised at all. I would like to actually see how Ford paints these things because with as ultra ultra thin as the paint is on our RR I'm amazed they can even achieve decent coverage. It's almost like their shitty paint job is just a colored primer the stuff is so freakin thin!

The first place ours went was to the detail shop I use to have PPF applied and ceramic coating done same as my six seven. I did do something a little different with the PPF on the hood and instead of using clear film they used a CF print film. Was a little worried how it would look so I held my breath for a couple days until I saw how it turned out but it looks good and the wife was happy with how her truck looks and that is the most important part.

If the factory running boards were half as wide as they are I would have considered leaving them on but the damn things stick out so far they're a nuisance getting out and these RR's don't sit high enough you even need them getting in. If there was a good way to cut them in half length way then reattach them on the brackets so they only stuck out half of what they do I would seriously consider doing that with them. I have factory rock sliders on my JL 4DR Rubicon. They aren't running boards but they stick out just enough to help protect the side but not so much they're a nuisance getting in or out. I haven't found any sliders for these RR's I like yet but I'll keep looking.
