I did a search and didn't come up with anything so I need to know what everyone thinks of the GM mud flaps. After putting them on my new truck I was looking at a Husky floor liner as my next purchase when I discovered Husky also makes mud flaps. In their instructions i read that they use a 3M protective film to put on the fenders so the flaps don't scuff the paint. Figures that I see this now! Does anybody have any experience with the GM flaps. Should I go out and by some film to put on the fenders or do I need to worry about the flaps wearing the paint off?
Thanks
Jim

 

I had them on my '01 for a year and never saw any problems with rubbing. They match up well and have more form than the flat bottom end on the Husky. Just my 2 cents.....

Thanks for the reply. I didn't think I would have a problem with my flaps but I thought I should ask. My truck is the 06 version of yours. Nice truck! I noticed you have a front licence plate bracket. Did it come with that? Mine is bolted to the bumper with 2 screws and without a bracket. I would rather have a bracket on mine too. Do you have a part number?
Thanks
Jim

 

The plate bracket fits the SS and I took my dremmel to it. Most people have no idea that it's not made for my model. I think it's worth the $.... Thanks!

 

i had stock gm mudflaps on my 01 as well. they fit really well. i never understood why they were put on a 4x2 but hey, they were there.

 

my "gm splash guards" did rub paint off, now i gotta live with them on there or get some fender flares


btw im just noticing the 2 guys who dont have problems have white trucks while mine is dark grey

 

My '01 was Pewter......

You might get some clear protective sheeting and install it under the splash gaurd yourself.

 

Thanks Guys
I'll put the film on. The back ones are easy but I gotta remove the step tubes to get the front ones off. What a pain!
