Here are the different plate finishes

At a glance

Overall sentiment is strongly positive: buyers consistently describe Gatorback/SharpTruck mud flaps as premium, heavy‑duty, great-looking, and highly effective at stopping rocks/mud/snow from hitting paint, steps, and trailers. The main reservations are the high price and occasional installation/fitment or hardware/packaging issues, which are often mitigated by responsive customer service and strong warranty support.

What Customers Liked

  • Thick, heavy rubber with substantial weight plates; feels “OTR/semi-truck grade,” doesn’t flap at highway speeds, flexible in cold weather, holds up through winters, gravel roads, mud, and years of use; many repeat buyers across multiple trucks.
  • Significantly reduces rock chips, road debris, mud/salt spray on paint, rocker panels, running boards/power steps, cameras, and keeps trailers/5th wheels/RVs cleaner and protected; coverage often better than OEM or plastic splash guards.
  • Looks “sharp,” classy, and truck-specific; logo/plate options (Z71, AT4X, Ford, Ram, Duramax, flags, black/satin/gunmetal/chrome) get compliments and help the truck stand out; finishing caps appreciated.
  • Many report perfect/vehicle-specific fit with factory-hole mounting, adjustable in/out positioning, good clearance with stock tires, and compatibility with certain trims/fender flares when configured correctly.
  • Generally described as straightforward with the right tools; helpful YouTube videos; bracket kits (especially rear/dually) add stability and make alignment easier; ability to install without removing wheels on some vehicles.
  • Frequent praise for fast shipping, responsive support, quick exchanges for wrong parts, replacement parts/plates/flaps shipped rapidly, and hassle-free warranty (including tears/rips or shipping damage).
  • Replaceable plates; removable lower section on some models for off-road clearance; ability to adjust flap stick-out; some like drilling only into plastic liner (not body).

Things to Consider

  • Most common complaint; many call them expensive/overpriced (often $600–$1000+), sometimes compounded by needing separate bracket kits/plates; some say alternatives may be “good enough” for less.
  • Mixed experiences: some installs are quick, others take hours—especially rear/dually, with wheel-well liners, rock rails/steps, or limited access; right-angle drill and/or removing rear wheels often recommended; alignment can be finicky.
  • Paper instructions sometimes vague, lacking steps, inconsistent with videos, or confusing (hardware ID, left/right orientation, templates, washer placement); requests for better labeling, templates, and model-specific videos.
  • Occasional reports of holes not lining up, needing to drill/elongate slots, bend/trim brackets, trim liners/trim pieces, or create homemade brackets; some rubbing with oversized tires/offset wheels; a few cases of poor fit on specific trims/years.
  • Multiple reviewers note drilling is still required (usually into plastic liner or flap), so ‘no-drill’ feels misleading in some kits.
  • Some dislike plastic clips/nut inserts pulling out/stripping, mixed metric/SAE hardware, bolt length issues, flimsy/galvanized or plastic brackets at high price, silver hardware visible (wish black), occasional missing/mismatched hardware or parts.
  • Some flaps/plates arrived scuffed/scratched or boxes damaged; brackets loosening in transit; a few wrong items shipped or missing pieces (spacers/washers/clips), though support often resolves quickly.
  • Some note low ground clearance depending on model/height; concerns about snagging in deep snow, tall grass, or off-road obstacles; some wish flaps were longer/shorter depending on use.
  • Plate finish can streak/stain (e.g., gunmetal), color/gloss differs from expectations, logos not level in a few cases, and some wish flaps came pre-slotted/pre-drilled for easier install.

I like the final install result. Getting there was a little confusing to start with.
Install clarity prevents me from giving 5 stars
I am mechanically inclined and do most of my own wrenching on vehicles and motorcycles so between the printed instructions and the available videos I was able to piece the install together. Once I had the driver side for each done the passenger side went much quicker.
I also work at a site that produces powder coating so I used some black powder to coat the main components/brackets. I didn't want all the silver in my wheel wells since my truck is blacked out. I did not take the time to coat the screw and bolt heads. May touch those up later. :)

These are only my opinions as to the install of brackets and mud flaps. Your experience may be different.
1. The instructions for drilling the mud flaps are not really clear, in my opinion, as to which side to lay the template. The instructions say the "front" of the mud flap, but to me it is actually the BACK of the mud flap. I am saying this in regards to the final view of the mud flap upon mounting on the truck.
2. The install diagram is "busy" with all the lines, numbers, etc. shown all on one diagram/page. Breaking the diagram down into 2 or 3 diagrams/pages with less info would provide better clarity.
3. The parts list for the front brackets needs updated. The parts list stated there should be 2 more stainless washers than what is actually provided AND needed. I figured this out once I got the first one installed. Initially I thought I was shorted a couple of washers.
4. The install diagram shows (and printed directions simply say to put them in) putting in all the square white expansion nuts the same way. Yet in a couple of the online videos they clearly show putting some into the plate from the "back" side of the plates. I put all mine in per the instruction diagram and had one pull lose before I had all the flap screws tightened down. That is when I figured out why in the video they show inserting them the opposite way. Fortunately I was able to loosen a couple of bolts and turn that particular expansion nut around without having to completely disassemble. Hopefully the rest hold and I don't have to completely remove and switch several expansion nuts around. If inserting these from the other side is the "BEST" choice that should be clearly stated on the included instructions, not something a person might pick up on if they watch the videos.

All in all, I DO like the brackets. Another review mentioned the cost. I was a little put off by the cost when I first found these but am happy I got them. Because again, as another review stated, the mud flaps are heavy and I don't think I would trust simply attaching to the wheel well edge. Time will tell but I hope/think these were a good choice.

Truck Hardware Gatorback Black American Flag Mud Flaps - Set

Upgrade your 2015-2020 Ford F-150 with the Truck Hardware Gatorback Black American Flag Mud Flap Set. These mud flaps are designed to fit perfectly on single rear wheel F-150 pickup trucks, providing superior protection against rocks, mud, gravel, snow, and other road debris while enhancing the truck's aesthetic appeal. Constructed from 12" wide heavy-duty rubber, these mud flaps deliver comprehensive tire coverage and a distinctive look for your vehicle. The no body drilling installation keeps your truck's paint and finish intact, ensuring easy and worry-free mounting.

Made from 1/2" thick virgin rubber, these mud flaps are engineered to withstand tough conditions, offering excellent flexibility, resilience, and resistance to fading or cracking. The black American flag logo adds a patriotic, rugged touch to your truck, ensuring it stands out while staying protected. The front mud flaps provide 6.5" of tire coverage, while the rear flaps offer 9.5" of coverage, ensuring your truck stays cleaner and better protected from flying debris on and off the road.

Key Features

  • Heavy-Duty Virgin Rubber Construction: Made from 1/2" thick virgin rubber, offering unmatched durability, flexibility, and resistance to cracking and fading.
  • Full Tire Coverage: Front flaps cover 6.5" and rear flaps cover 9.5" of tire area, providing maximum protection from rocks, mud, gravel, and snow.
  • Custom Fit Front & Rear Mounting Brackets: Includes custom-fit front (GB759524) and rear (GB759543) mounting brackets for added stability and secure installation without drilling.
  • No Body Drilling Installation: Installation requires no body drilling, preserving your truck's paint and aluminum body while ensuring a secure fit.
  • 304 Stainless Steel Black American Flag Plates: The logo plates are crafted from high-quality 304 stainless steel with a finish, adding a rugged and patriotic look to your vehicle.

Installation

Front Flap Installation: The front mud flaps attach directly to the lip of the wheel well using custom-fit mounting brackets (GB759524) and existing factory fasteners. Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools. The brackets are designed to ensure no body drilling is required, protecting your truck's paint and aluminum body. If your truck is equipped with the Lariat protection package, two small cuts may be needed to relieve pressure from the bracket pressing against the inner liner.

Rear Flap Installation: The rear mud flaps are secured using the included custom-fit mounting brackets (GB759543) and factory mounting points. The brackets are also designed for no body drilling, preserving your truck's integrity. If your truck has the Lariat protection package, two small cuts may be necessary for proper fitment. These brackets provide additional stability, preventing unwanted flapping during rough driving conditions.

What's Included

  • (2) Front Mud Flaps - 12" x 23" Cut Style (GB1223CUTAFB)
  • (2) Rear Mud Flaps - 12" x 23" Full Style (GB1223AFB)

Care & Maintenance

To keep your Gatorback Black American Flag Mud Flaps in peak condition:

  • Rubber Flaps: Clean regularly with mild soap and water to remove dirt, grime, and road salt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that may degrade the rubber. Applying a rubber protectant after cleaning can help maintain flexibility and resistance to cracking.
  • Stainless Steel Plates: Clean the stainless steel plates with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner to maintain their shine and prevent rust or discoloration. Regular cleaning will help keep the plates looking sharp and prevent buildup of contaminants.
  • Periodically check mounting hardware to ensure it remains secure, especially after off-road use or adverse weather conditions.

Manufacturer Warranty

Gatorback Mud Flaps come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering rubber replacement (e.g., tear-offs) for the original owner. This warranty does not cover damage resulting from abuse, misuse, or general wear and tear on brackets, plates, or mounting hardware.

Terms

  • 304 Stainless Steel: A grade of stainless steel known for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability, commonly used in automotive accessories to withstand harsh environments and maintain a polished appearance.
  • Virgin Rubber: Rubber that has not been recycled or reprocessed, providing superior durability, flexibility, and resistance to cracking compared to recycled rubber.
  • No Body Drilling Installation: A type of installation that uses existing mounting points and requires no additional holes to be drilled into the vehicle body, preserving the vehicle's paint and structural integrity.

The Truck Hardware Gatorback Black American Flag Mud Flaps offer the perfect blend of rugged protection and unique style for your Ford F-150. Built to withstand even the toughest conditions, these mud flaps protect your vehicle while adding a bold, patriotic look.
