Thinking about Mud flaps

Ok so I am thinking that I want to install mud flaps on my truck but worried about it looking like a grandpa truck, Can I see some pics of trucks with mudflaps and what brands are best?

Not sure why you think it would look like a grandpa truck but I think they look good. Then again, I also like the look of OWL tires especially on my white truck. Some will say they are out of style but I'm not one to just follow the crowd. The flaps sure keep the mud and dirt off of the running boards. Not the best picture for the flaps but these are the Ford OEM flaps.

Those look nice! Did they come stock or you purchased after? How hard were they to install?

Thanks! I ordered them with the truck along with the wheel well liners. Maybe paid a little more that way but I like to keep it simple.

I went with the Ford molded flaps. A good appearance in my opinion but I'm not sure they're all that great for blocking splatter from the 325/65 tires I have on. At least in the front.

Mine with no drill flaps, I actually like the look and it protects my paint from a lot of rock chips. I also have a lot of equipment under the truck bed behind the rear tire and the flaps keep it a lot dryer back there.

I also wasn't sure if I would like them so I went the cheap route, bought Teccom brand on Amazon and I've actually been really impressed.

I went with the OEM flaps, used some FordPass rewards points to purchase them.

IMO, the rubber flaps with metal stuff riveted on, whether it shines stainless or a saying like saying FORD are out of style.
Less is more.

I went with simple Weathertech flaps.
Blends in Perfectly, and without notice.

I went with the OEM flaps as well. These really should have come as standard factory feature.
