Truck Hardware Gatorback Black "Bowtie" Logo Mud Flaps - Set
Enhance your Chevy Silverado with the rugged and dependable Truck Hardware Gatorback Black "Bowtie" Logo Mud Flaps. Specifically designed to fit 2014-2018 Chevy Silverado 1500, 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 Legacy, and 2015-2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD/3500 HD (Single Rear Wheel), these mud flaps provide optimal protection against road debris while adding a sleek and distinctive touch to your truck. The flaps are 12 inches wide, offering excellent coverage and durability. The iconic black Bowtie logo, set against a stainless steel plate, ensures your truck stands out from the crowd.
Crafted from 1/2" thick premium virgin rubber, these Gatorback mud flaps are engineered to endure the toughest conditions while maintaining their flexibility. The heavy-duty construction helps prevent the flaps from 'sailing' at high speeds, ensuring they stay firmly in place and provide maximum protection. The front flaps provide 9 inches of tire coverage, while the rear flaps cover 7.5 inches, effectively shielding your truck's finish from rocks, mud, and other debris.
The officially licensed Chevrolet Bowtie logo is die-stamped into a 304 stainless steel plate with a hand-applied black vinyl overlay, resulting in a clean, premium appearance. The stainless steel plates measure 10 1/4" x 5" on both the front and rear flaps, adding a touch of rugged style to your vehicle.
Installation
Front Flap Installation: The front mud flaps attach directly to the lip of the wheel well using self-tapping screws, and existing factory fasteners can also be used if available. Installation is straightforward, requiring only basic tools. Make sure to allow at least 1/2" of clearance between the tire and the wheel well to accommodate the flap's thickness. The front flaps install flush with the wheel well, allowing for seamless integration with accessories like step bars, power boards, or side steps.
Rear Flap Installation: The rear flaps are fastened using custom-fit rear support brackets and one or two self-tapping screws to secure them tightly against the wheel well. This installation method ensures the flaps stay in place and prevents them from flapping into the tires, even under challenging driving conditions.
