Default mudflaps custom fit?

Started shopping around, are the Weathertech mudflaps/splash guards the way to go for a custom fit look?

Great, thank you, trying to stay away from the flat piece of rubber look.

Not sure about putting on the locking lugs, thinking on that one.

I have weathertech mudflaps and love them. I think they look better than the oem ones.

I have the husky flaps, and they seem great.

​​​​​Locking life are a horrible idea. Good luck finding and using that key when you're on the side of the road in the middle of the night in a storm.

I’d have to disagree on the “horrible idea” comment, and maybe anyone who’s ever had a set of wheels stolen would agree with me. As for the lug key... it stays hidden in the truck, always.

I have Weathertech on the rear and Ford Accessory mud flaps on the front.
The front Weathertech mud flaps hit the front tires every time I backed out of the driveway.

For locking lug nuts, I bought Gorilla on all 24 wheel studs.
I ordered an extra key so one is always in the center console and one is in my tool box with my sockets.
i have never had an issue with finding or using the key when required. YMMV.

I threw a set of front and rear weathertechs on this fall. Love them. I always swore I'd never have mud flaps on a truck, thinking it was old man-ish....decided I wanted to try and get the most life I could out of this one. I think they fit great and look pretty good with the stock tires. Never had any rubbing. One of the biggest things for me...living in a lake effect snow-prone area is the buildup of snow under the quarter and door panels. The front flaps have helped with this a lot. Have a set of locking lugs sitting on the shelf somewhere....too rural to worry about having those on the truck.

With your stock 20" wheels and stock tires?
