You got the regular or the digital fit ones? When I select the digital fit ones they only give me the option of the "new body style" which I'm not quite sure what they mean by. The digital fit ones are a bit more expensive, so I'm leaning towards the regular ones.

Got the mats (not the digital fit ones), no drill mudflaps and the splash guard.
I'm not super happy with the rear mats. The two rear pieces don't connect very well. The fronts are ok. I now wonder if I should have spent the extra $$$ for the digital fit ones.
The mudflaps are great. I first called WeatherTech asking if they would still fit since I got sideboards, but I couldn't quite see how they wouldn't fit. The women just responded "It says they won't fit so that means they wont fit." I ordered them anyway and they fit (what a b**ch!). Even with my 20" wheels the mudflaps in the front have good clearance. The no-drill feature is great, however I'd like plastic plugs instead of metal screws which I guess will eventually corrode and stick out on the black plastic.
Then the least attractive part, the splash guard. The fit was ok, but I wasn't thrilled about it. Some squeaking of the plastic was necessary. The look of it once it's on is a little strange too. It sort of makes a bullnose and then goes backwards. But the looks are ok. It's also not a very good black color. Has more of a greyish tint to it. But worst of all is when I reached 60mph and started hearing a whistle from the front. The truck got 1700 miles on it, so I doubt it's a coincident with a mechanical issue. In such a quiet cab I'd hate to add more sound. For this I'm still on the fence about keeping it or taking it off and trying to sell it used.
Overall I like the products, and I'm keeping it all installed as of now. I won't return anything or complain. I just thought I'd help anyone that might consider purchasing these products.
