Default Gatorbak or Weathertech - help me choose mudflaps

I'm going to buying a 2010 FX4 this week (black w/ chrome ford step). With winter here in Iowa already I want to get some mud flaps on it ASAP.

What do you guys like, I like the long look w/ chrome like semi's have, however I see lots of guys like weathertech...

I'd love to see some pictures of the gatorbaks and weathertechs on some F150's.

Any other nice heavy mud flaps that you guys recommend?
Thanks

I just installed a set of WeatherTech No-Drill mud flaps on my 13 FX4 and they look and fit great. Check out the other mud flap Tread:

If you want some wheel well liners too, let me know. Have some brand new Rugged ones.

WeatherTech....all the way!!! By far the easiest installing mudflaps I've ever put on. Fit & finish is exceptional!

With the weathertechs, do they protect the rear painted bumper. My 2005 had many chips cause the flaps didn't protect that part very well. Are the weathertechs longer than most?

I really like the look of the Gatorback as I am not a fan of the molded guards, I jut didn't want to spend that much so I opted for these instead.

I'm not happy with the performance of the ProFlaps that I purchased (have not chased this down with their customer service) and am thinking about purchasing a set of the Gatorback Set Back mud flaps. Going to run a pretty penny though...I plan on keeping this truck for a long time.

Go with the Gatorbacks! They look better!
