Default Just installed OEM Ford Mudflaps!

I do like the look and design but after looking at them once installed tonite, I now see why op use the Husky's or Weathertech's! As I noticed there is about a 3 1/2" gap between the wheel well liners front & back and the Mudflaps towards the center of truck, pretty dumb on Ford's part. Oh well what do I expect for $76.00.

Here we go. Sorry for the Flashlight! Ipad3 doesnt have a Flash Trucks dirty to, as its been raining here!

Rear mud flap! I have Ford OEM Wheel Well Liners too!



Front mud flap


You can see the Open Gap toward the inside of the mud flaps! I can see a set of Huskies or WeatherTech's in my distant future!

Crummy design & Ford saved $$$ by creating the Fugly Gap! Hopefully they'll Fix this!

Your are correct in that statement. I love my Ecoboost, but you would think if the intercooler is an important part of the engine, Ford would cover the opening with a grill. But nope, you have to buy an aftermarket product to take care of preventing damage to it.

When I asked about getting a grill for there the dealer said " ford does not recommend any type of grill that will block ANY air flow and ford at this time has no authorized covers at this time. The cover could void warranty if a problem arises".
Dumb @$$ design ford!!!

What exactly are those mud flaps going to do in a situation where you'd be throwing water/dirt around? That is one of THE MOST ridiculous designs i've seen in awhile.
