Default Splash Guards - Which One's?

OK I have looked everywhere here but I can't fine the thread on Splash Guards. Which one's look the best and where can I get them at a good price?? I don't want nothing ugly and big, just something nice to keep trach and those little rocks and all off the paint. Thanks in advance. Sandy

Default Pipedreams makes a good set.

I've had them. Bought from his first few sets. Like the look and they have worked great. Switching them from the 05 to the 08.

I did a search for splash guards and they were there with a link.

They not only look and fit better but if you ever have even a tiny problem Ed is right there to help. I caught a wash rag on one and bent the tip down. Told Ed I wanted to buy another rear set and clips and he sent one right out, free of charge...

Well let me tell you what disappointed me. I had my mudlaps sent to the NCM so I could pick them up with my car. My plan was to put them on in the parking lot before I headed south. The front flaps were fairly straightforward. The clips for the back flaps look a litte scary - like they'll scratch something. So I look for the instructions and there's one thin piece of paper that says to go to www.blahblah.com and download the instructions. A LOT OF GOOD THAT DID WHILE I WAS STANDING IN THE PARKING LOT. If I had known the instructions weren't included, I would have downloaded and printed them before I flew to Nashville.

Ed knew I was doing Museum Delivery. I was disappointed to say the least. I drove home with the fronts only.

p.s. congratulations on you long awaited reward. How many more wake ups ??

Ed's are the best IMO. Hardly noticeable, but do a good job of protecting the areas behind the wheels.

I have Ed's flaps and they work well. Another alternative is CLEARTASTIC which is (obviously) a clear plastic film placed behind the front and rear fenders which sticks and protects just like the flaps without that "flap" look. You really cant tell its been applied unless looking real close.
