Default Please post pics of your Tahoe w/ mud flaps...

I am wanting to put mud flaps on my 09 White Tahoe. I think it would help keep it clean. I was wondering what it would look like. If any of you have pics of your 'Hoe with flaps, please post them. Especially if your ride is white!

Thanks

Here's my old ones. My silver ones just came in and have no pics yet.

Not only do they help keep it clean, they also help cut down on the rock chips.

I just installed front and rear mud flaps from Weathertech.com, which installed easily and look good as well. The fronts fit the contour of the fender a bit better, but overall I am happy with the fit and appearance.

I have the GM flaps on my white 07 and they really work nice with one exception. They will rub the paint off right to the base material where they overlap the body panel. Taping it doesn't help, it will sand right thru it. I know it's happened...I choose to ignore it.

Can you post a pic of your white Tahoe with the flaps?

Thanks!!

Somewhere along the line, they changed the rear bumper cover so that it now has a crease line which means the rear flaps are different than the '07.

I noticed that my new ones have a soft gasket along the edge that touches the body.

Here's a couple of pix. This is a "working" Tahoe, and it will only get washed the next time it rains. They're the GM flaps.
