Yes. Get some 3M automative film. It is what they make the clear bras out of. Put a layer on the body where the flap will touch. I cut mine just big enough to be ensure the flap would sit against it. You cannot see it.

I bought my mudflaps from Ebay...they were about $80...I went to install them and found out you had to drill a hole in the wheel well to install the middle screw...You cannot get a drill in there with the tire so I took it to the chevy dealership and they charged me $80 to put them on...come to find out they never put the screws in the back because they said it didn't need it but did drill holes in the front and installed them...they told me that these mudflaps have been discontinued and they are not selling them anymore because they are not a good fit...I agree the back flaps are not tight without the screws and it was a rip to pay them to do it...If I would have known they were not going to screw the rear ones in I would have done it myself and it would have taken 5 minutes....needless to say they do look nice and do help with mud/water splatter...and I will be writing the service department a complain letter with the cost of installation...Here are some pics of my 2007 Tahoe LTZ

I didn't drill the rear center hole.I used an awl to punch through to create a pilot hole. The screw bit in and it worked fine.I didn't have a torque wrench soI didnt want to take the rear tires off. I had to press pretty hard to get the hole started but like he said - no way to get a drill in there.

I installed mine in about 20 minutes. I didnt drill any holes in the rear either, I skipped one screw in the rear and they are attached good enough. Only drilled 2 holes in the front, and they were the holes going into the running boards. I installed them all with the wheels on. SHould have given it a shot on your own, $80 is reasonable installation and I would expect to pay that at the stealership!

I had mud flaps and a bug shield thrown in before we signed the papers on the new Tahoe. I gotta think the mud flaps the dealership installed on mine are a different style than the ones in your pictures. Mine seem to fit o.k. so far. I have to ask if you have noticed any noise from your bug shield? The dealership had a Lund they were going to put on the Tahoe and a friend of mine that works there said no way. They had installed one on a new Suburban, the guy drove it five miles turned around and had them take it off. He said it rattled like crazy. They ordered a GM brand for mine and it seems fine. Just wondering......

If anyone is still looking I might have a set used, however just like new for sale. Obviously you would want to use the same holes I have already created on yours. I also added a cushion liner to the sides so they dont rub the paint! All the hard work already done! Let me know if anyone is interested. They are the GM/OEM molded front and rear flaps. The fronts are designed for the running boards, rears have the bowtie emblem! Make me an offer!

SOLD 1/30/07!
