Which Splash Guards

What's everybody using for molded plastic type mud splash guards? I'm looking to put some on my 2012 Super Cab front and rear to keep it cleaner.

I put husky mud guards on my 2010. Pretty simple to install and looks very nice in my opinion. The only thing i can say is that with the A/T tires i still get a little splatter of mud every now and then, but not nearly as much as i did without them. My father also has the same Husky's for his 2009 F250 and i have seen ice fill his entire wheel well from driving on slushy roads and he kicked it off after freezing and the mud guard held it's ground.

Husky's, Weathertechs, or the factory Ford molded guards are your best options and look good too. I rarely see anyone using rubber guards/mudflaps anymore.

I went ahead and ordered the Husky molded guards, if they can hold up to kicking ice off it sounds like they'll hold up very well up here.

Arrow And I ordered the Weathertecs today.

Just ordered a front and rear set of Weathertecs today ($90 shipped). Saw overwhelmingly positive feedback (five stars) on their quality from several hundred customer/reviewers. And I liked the idea of the "no drill" installation (we'll see how that holds up) but they do use existing Ford bolt holes too - so it probably isn't too bad.
Dixiedog1, maybe we can compare notes after three or four years...

You may need to contact the next owner because given my history on truck ownership it will likely be traded in for something new and shinier way before then.

funny thing about that is that my father bought the truck used and when he went to put the mud guards on he noticed the clear protective film on his truck was exactly the same as what came with his mud guards, so i'm guessing the previous owner had the same ones on it. All i can think is that the dealership took them off before selling them.

Try weathertech.com; they sell them cheaper than autoanything.com last time I checked.
I had the Ford molded guards on my 2000 F250; this type wraps around the fender a little towards the rear. After being on for about 7 years I noticed the paint had been rubbed down to the metal and started rusting on all four of the fenders where the mud guards wrapped around the fender. I had them removed and the fenders repainted and then installed the flat type of mud guard on that truck and again on the 2010 when I bought it.
