Are RokBlokz the way to go for mud flaps that won't damage paint?

[mdl20813]

OK. I am just telling you, once they are installed and you aren't staring at the mud flaps from 6 inches away, you will never notice the logos. Seriously, it's almost always dark/in shadow down there at the bottom behind the wheels. Trust me, you think it's a big deal now. You'll never think about it again a couple days after the flaps are there.

At least that's how it was for me. Your OCD may be stronger than mine!

I can second that the black on black is virtually invisible IRL.

I like the Ford OEM ones a lot better. Besides being way overpriced, the RokBlokz look almost home-made, and the mounting bolts/large washers stick out like a sore thumb - don't look "factory" at all.

I had the RokBlotz and they just did not protect the rear fenders from mud splashing. Threw way and use the Amazon Ford Licensed LONG mud flaps on the REAR and short OEM ones on the FRONT wheels...much, much more protection from splattering of mud from rear fender...and look much better even though they were 1/2 the price of the RokBlotz.

What about these mudflaps? No annoying logo, looks like the OEM flaps, and are cheap.

I installed these a couple of days ago. Installation was easy, and they fit perfectly.

After reading the concerns on the forum, I've ordered a roll of 3M paint protection tape that I will place on the paint under the mudflap where it overlaps.

This is part of the listing...but the word "optional" leaves me to wonder if it is "optional" to put on or "optional" to buy. What say you @Muslogy Auto ?

The felt is included in the package. I put it on, but am still going to put the 3M tape on the paint where the flap overlaps.

Thanks! These look like they would do me well for my needs. Not planning on mudding with my beautiful hybrid, but there is way too much splashing around here to leave them off.
I just can't see putting on expensive-ugly or OEM-paint damaging mudflaps.

Optional to put on. The felts are included in the package.

Yes, but they're not rubber. They're plastic. And yes, they're stupid expensive.

I’ve met the guy he does them himself just a small business they’re not plastic they’re composite which is a lot stronger. They don’t flap like rally armors will and I think they have a better look in the long run, they’re a little pricier but I think they’re worth the money

Rockblokz remind me of the flat, plastic mudflaps I used to put on my cars in the early 90s -- only 10X the price.

I bought Rokblokz. Installed them this morning. For the price, they could at least include black screws instead of silver. I ended up painting all the screws so they wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb.

And they are now on my truck. Look great, feel sturdy, and was an easy install.

The original ones were black. They might have switched when people were complaining about the hardware rusting. Supposedly it was stainless, but I suppose they might have been using a phosphate coating (a sort of rust in itself) that could discolor.

I installed mine about a month ago and all my hardware was black. Otherwise I would have painted all of it.
