Black Dragon Splash Guards - pic & fitment request

Greetings. I've been looking for body-molded splash guards / mud flaps for a while, and just came across the ones in BD.

Has anyone here run these, have pics of them installed? They look fairly decent - curious how the fronts look. Would love to see your install pics and get your input on what you think of them.

Also wondering if people have painted them, and what that looks like.



Cheers!

Have a set - yet to install. ABS stiff plastic. pretty rugged. Form fit looks good, but need to drill hole and get creative with a non-rust generating alternative mount rather than supplied metal screws. No pix, sorry.

^I'm in the same boat as Stu. Bought them back in Spring and have yet to install. A quick test fit showed they are pretty well molded, but the supplied hardware isn't very good. A few good stainless sheetmetal screws and some RTV to seal the holes should keep it relatively safe from rust. I'm more concerned with dirt and water getting trapped in between the plastic and the fender lip... Might be a good idea to pull them off and clean/dry it all out periodically...

I have some Rallyarmor mud flaps waiting to go on. I just have to figure out how I'm going to mount them up. From the look of things, it's going to take some doing.

Someone should start a thread showing fitment of all of the mudflap options.

I like the way you think.

I just wasn't wanting to jack your thread.
