Mud flaps for the new DD

[pagrunt]

Its now two weeks with the '14 Silverado & I'm stumping myself on the mud flaps. I've been looking at my options for most of the week. I really like the OE molded type but don't really want to drill holes in the fenders & bed side, fight with the seam sealer on the front. They have a flat set with the same drill issue. Other choice is a set of Weathertechs but they look like they somewhat smaller/not as high up the wheel opening. I know I'll be spending more that I care to but as the saying goes "good is not cheap, cheap is not good." After this I'll be looking into stainless step tubes, Weathertech floor mats front & rear, & a good spray in bed liner. I atleast got the K&N filter (like hours after buying it) in, put in a set of Phillips LED back up bulbs.

i bought a set of weathertech's no drill flaps for my brothers 08 silverado and they're a true no drill set up.they utilize the included and existing oe hardware to install.i'm not sure the look you're going for but they're a nice design for sure.take a look.

Go Husky floor mats. In fact I may be able to hook you up.

Husky floor mats and a under rear seat storage compartment. These fit my 2014 and 2016 Chevrolet full size Silverado with an extended cab. Not crew cab. Message me if interested

I like the OEM flaps

I'd go factory for the mudflaps. Just put a ball of strip caulk on the tip of the screws when you install them to prevent rust.

I have weather techs in two of my cars and I love them. I'm told Huskys are just as good. For spray in bed liner, go with Line-X if you can afford it, or otherwise I'd go with Raptor Liner.

I wish one of the 2 previous owners would of put them on but that takes the fun out of it. I did check in with the dealers body shop that did the old trucks bed & quoted my at $550 using Scorpion. I liked how it handeled everything I loaded on it & it stayed black. I like Raptor, used to sell it (very fond of all of U-Pol products.)

I was checking out the "chip guards" where the flap will mount. It looks like those are where the underside/rear screws tap into. So that would leave the wheel lip being the only metal to drill. Does anyone pictures of a '14 & new truck using the OE flaps?

check out maxliner for liners, about 50% off of weathertechs

Weathertech is US made, though..... There is a cost to MAGA.

I did get to see a '17 up close with OE flaps on it today (the babysitters' husband pick up it up as a left over a few weeks back.) There was only 2 holes per flap drilled into the wheel lips, the bottom rear holes are in the plastic "chip guards". The dealer did it with out using the rear U nuts or riv-nuts, but the front screws are already rusting (not the included hardware.) Now I'll have to do a little more looking into the Weathertech no drills to do more of a better comparison of both.
