I have the OEM and I like the look. The pictures you posted are legit. They are a ridged guard with the Ford oval emblem.

From what I have seen there are 2 oem versions. A moulded one that costs a little more and non moulded. The non moulded might be easy to put on a little crooked....I also went oem moulded. Not to be confused by moulded lip moulding. My truck did not have the lip moulding......

There are two factory styles. One for trucks with the wheel opening moulding, and one without. Can confirm that for the 17 and 18 models, the first photo is the style you get. The smooth style flap shown on the Ford website must be the old design.

OEM flaps are junk. Mine are torn as well after 6 months. No off road, all highway.

This has not been my experience; mine have been on my truck for over a year, and show no signs of tearing/wear.

Same here. 1400 miles one way to Florida vacation and back. 14k total in a year of ownership. Dozens of automatic car washes. No problems whatsoever.
