    Splash Guards / Mud Flaps ?

    So I never ever thought this would come up but I'm about to move into my dream house. Only problem is I've got 3/4 mile down an unpaved road to get to it. Is there any decent looking ( or not so horrible looking ) mudguards I can get to protect the car? I've been having nightmarish flashbacks to the highly polished stainless steel with little rubber flap type guards that I couldn't wait to add back in 1979 LOL !

    Please post pics if anyones got anything they'd care to share

    I bought the Factory ones ouf of the accessory book and painted them brilliant black...

    The look great - if you have to have them that is...

    I don't like mudflaps, but there is just too much tire overhang and I love my fenders more...



    or



    they blend in well and you don't notice them unless you are really looking for them..

    I guess I can live with those... are they large enough to keep the splash completely off the fenders and quarters?

    You're still going to get some dirt, but they should prevent most rocks and large stuff from throwing up on the car. The best way short of paving your long driveway is to drive very slow on the unpaved surface.

    How easy are these to install? Can I just slap the back splash guards on before hitting the track and take them off after??

    theres just a few screws in them, so taking them off at the track isn't hard at all.

    Real easy to install. To do it right, remove the tire so you can get right on top of the screws, but it can be done on a slight angle if you leave the wheels on.

    I had them on my Challenger, actually picking another set up for my new Challenger this morning, well worth it, I would recommend some 3M rock gaurd in areas that are still subject to debris flying up, but if you are at low speeds on the gravel, the mudflaps will do just fine.

    I have a 2011 Redline Dodge Charger and the splash guards that the dealership ordered do not look like yours and don't seem high enough - regarding the angle of kick-up/spray. Plus they are black and wrap around the outside corners onto the painted body- not very attractive from a style perspective...but regardless- I am more concerned in function of protecting the kick up of rocks, salt..etc...Mopar Part# 82212243(front), 82212244(rear)
    did you get yours custom installed & painted and would this work for a 2011 model?
    Any help & guidance is greatly appreciated.
