Talk to the dealer where you bought your truck, I got the mopar molded INSTALLED for $98. I called my saleman and asked him to hook me up and thats what I got.

I bought both front and rear molded ones but only put on the front ones. I could not get the back one to sit flush with the body and it did not look tight, so I put the straight plastic ones the dealer gave me back on. They are bigger and actually look better. I like the molded front ones though they look good.

Soooooo, how`d you come up with only using a 1/2 of screw per flap...?????.
Ohhhh, i get it, you only screwed the last screw in halfway on each flap...lol.
Umm, no - the rear set had 2 extra holes and the front had 3. Drilling the holes was in the directions that came with the mud flaps.

For anyone who put on the factory flaps with no protection between them and the paint. Do youself a favor. Take 10 minutes of your time and remove a flap. You will likely find them "scratching/wearing" through your paint. I caught them doing it on my 05 before it was to late.

Husky and weathertech owners.... Are they rigid plastic and smooth (paintable)? I will either be putting a set on my 12, but want them painted or I am going to have the 3M paint protection put onto the rockers under the door and a little bit behind the rear tires. To be honest I am leaning towards the 3M thing, but painted flaps would be better than black, at least on a sport.

I've got Weathertech all the way around. Excellent fit and coverage. Uses all existing holes/screws.

yeah i knew that, i was just bustin on ya...lol
As for the directions and drilling holes, i did not do that to my truck, i just used what was already drilled, not had an issue with them in 2yrs since installing them. They sit flat against the body on all 4 corners.

For the guys that are paying $80 bucks on up for your mudflaps.... wowwww, i got all 4 of mine for free when i bought my truck

Whatever you go with, I will reiterate the use of some 3M tape behind the guard. See my thread about what happens if you don't.
