Does anyone know where I can get "proper" looking mudgaurds for my front and rear wheels? Obviously they must look right!

I bought mine at the Ford dealer when I bought the car. The are moulded rubber and fit the "contours" of the wheel openings perfectly. They are plain black with no logo and were around $33.00/pair through the parts department. cool

So far with my experience in mud flaps (molded ones fom PEP BOYS) they did not fit real well with the sport side skirts. Going to look further into modifying them but so far does not look real good.

I bought the flat ones from the dealership. They have "Contour" at the bottom in the same font as the badge. I like them.

I like having them because my car is my daily commuter and in the winter the salt, sand and slush tend to build up on the rocker panels and behind the rear wheels.

Can't just let it sit in the garage and only drive it on dry sunny days! :p

ESC,

Great info thanks. That should do the trick. SVT'S here in MN get hammered with crap in the winter. Not to mention I have more rock chips than I care to have in my rockers panels. Thanks-
