Mopar molded mud flaps, where and how much?
 
I'm looking for the molded mud flaps for front and rear. Where did any of you find the best price at?

Picked up two pair at Geno's Garage. Try http://www.genosgarage.com/CoastalDa...ectGroup_ID=25 or http://tinyurl.com/r5d8j for details. I'm a happy customer.

Not that Genos isn't a good spot to get goodies....I bought mine at the dealer for the same price shipping included

I bought the molded Mopar mud guards from the local dealer. I think I paid $25 for both front and rear. Hate to say it (because I bought them from the dealer), but the price was right, and I'm happy with them so far.

They look nice, but before you put them on, I highly recommend some 3-M tape, as they may rub paint of at points of contact. If you drive gravel or have sand on roads, I personally do not recommend them, as they do not fully protect your rear fenders.

Call a few local dealers around you. They look nice and are better than nothing. You'll need more in rear if you're worried about what's in tow.

I bought front & rear flaps from the Dodge dealership. They have the RAM logo on them. The rear flaps are slightly bigger than the front flaps. I'm happy with them. I did upgrade to stainless steel fasteners in place of the plastic fasteners. Think I paid $78 for all four flaps.

I also have a gravel guard (NK) that fits on the hitch and hangs below the rear bumper. It has two 24"X24" flaps. This is to protect my TT.

I put clear body tape under mine. you can get it from Cabela's for 20.00 a roll.
It is dead clear and you can trim it how you want AND it protects the flaps from rubbing your paint. I have the factory flaps and they do about a 75% job, but at least they look right proportionally with the truck. No hanging shower curtains on my truck please........ [coffee]

You can also buy them on ebay for around 55 a set of 4. ;)

+1, the molded guards will eat through the paint so use a protective film under them.

Thanks for the info guys. One of the members has a set he took of his truck, so i'll try them. I'm unfamiliar how they fasten. What are the plastic/stailess things some of you are talking about?

When you see the plastic molybolts, it will be obvious how you can upgrade them to small SS bolts and washers. Also, anytime you drill through the sheetmetal, it's a good idea to prime/paint the exposed metal to prevent rust.

I guess I'll be the first to say it, You may not like them in the long term. For the looks of them, not a bad looking flap. Functional, Maybe for someone that never drives in snow, gravel roads and doesn't keep their truck for any length of time. Both Dad and I had them install them on our trucks when new. Gravel roads and winter conditions take their toll on them. A good set of rubber composite guards are the way to go. They suit the truck a little better IMO

Absolutely! And with stainless on them, they look great! :)

I ran across a guy that had to have his fenderwell openings repainted because of the molded flaps grinding-off the paint. He "highly recommended" that I not use molded flaps.

The clear tape idea makes good sense.
