Stupid question about mud flaps
#31
What's this a pi$$ in match. The dura flaps won't work without some modification " if your going to add inner fender wells at some point" as are the Weathertech flaps but the weather techs would require less modification because they aren't as high into wheel well. My post was only to show the OP that there were options to OEM and that some are not as high priced if the OP was shopping.
I know that some of us own Platinums and it's seems to have gone to some of our heads. Also that some senior users seem to think that their idea is the only way to go. They do this by reposting their positions on subjects over and over as a posed to posting their idea and moving on. This is a form of bullying This thread is a good topic and the more users who offer content as to what they purchased and why as apposed to continuing to imply the OP should buy his type over the other options offered by other users is wrong.

They look ok for your setup but they are not the best flaps for everyone. You have posted three times about your Duraflaps and seem to indicate that they are perhaps the best out there. They are not, if one wants to add inner liners to the rear wells they would have to cut the almost entire top that goes up into the well off. I'm just saying

If I hadn't wanted inner liners I think I would have been wanting to find out more about yours. Are they ABS construction. My Weathertech look cheap compared to your. I don't think mine are the best or only option.

Ahh I see now, just wasn't following.
I don't know much on the details of mine. They appear to be of an ABS construction. I actually posted them up in here just to show a different style but also to see if anyone might pipe in and know if they are a certain brand or whatnot, I haven't found any identifying marks on the inner parts and have been beginning to wonder if the actual mudflap and black diamond plate part was just a one off home job by the previous owner? Was hoping someone might ID them in case I ever damage one.
I agree what's best for one isn't best for all, that's the beauty of modding/outfitting trucks.

Nice Platinum, looks spotless. There is a guy in my town in NH who has a black, gas Platinum - he loves it. He did carve up the front air dam to plow with it.

Thanks everyone for the good info - I don't have the inner liners (too worried about salt and dirt getting stuck above the liner and rusting from there) by my only concern with the Dura-flap is it how it might look against my white truck. It looks fine on the black Platinum. I'll check out everything.

Here are some photos of the Ford splash guards installed on my 2015 F350 DRW. Took me about 4 hours to install them. Must of the time was going back and for to the shop to get tools or drill the holes.
I replaced the molded splash guards that I ordered with the truck.
Front p/n CL3Z-16A550-J $58.00
Rear p/n CL3Z-16A550-K $104.00
I opted to not pay an extra $100 to $150 for the bright insert in them.
Front - passenger side similar - Required drilling 2 holes in each fender.
Front
Rear driver's side - Required drilling 3 holes. 2 in the flare and one in the fenderliner
Notice the splash guard covers more of the tire than the molded ones.

In addition to the screws, There is also a bracket that mounts on the truck. It mounts into existing holes.

I like the fact they have a smooth side facing the tire. Less prone to having mud or grass embed in the grooves.

You can go to Ford Accessories for the part numbers. I believe the SRW can use the front flap on the back also.
