Truck Hardware Gatorback Black Plate Mud Flaps - 14" Wide - Anodized Brackets

Things to Consider

• Price
  Frequently described as expensive/pricy (examples cited ~$450 fronts/backs; ~$703 for set of four).
• Installation difficulty / instructions
  Some found install tricky or time-consuming (sometimes requiring wheel/tire removal); instructions could be clearer (side identification, drill pattern guidance, pre-drilled holes).
• Hardware quality & completeness
  Complaints about small/inferior screws; missing nuts/too-short fasteners; some replaced with larger stainless bolts/locknuts; silver hardware on black kits stands out.
• Finish/coating issues
  Reports that black finish/“powder coat” scratches easily and flakes; concerns about long-term corrosion resistance depending on materials and winter salt exposure.
• Order accuracy / cosmetic mismatch
  One bracket arrived brushed instead of chrome (being corrected).
• Clearance when left full-length
  Full-length install can sit close to the ground on some lifts; may need trimming to avoid curb contact when backing up.
• Cold-weather durability concern (unconfirmed)
  One reviewer worried a removable lower section could become brittle/break in winter, though no failure reported yet.
