Here are the different plate finishines

At a glance

Customer sentiment is overwhelmingly positive: reviewers praise Gatorback/SharpTruck mud flaps as premium, heavy-duty, great-looking protection that fits well and performs in mud/snow/gravel, with standout customer service. The most common negatives are high price and installation/fitment frustrations (sometimes requiring drilling, extra tools, or bracket add-ons), plus occasional missing/damaged hardware or shipping scuffs.

What Customers Liked

  • Consistently described as thick, heavy-duty rubber with substantial weight/plates; durable, flexible in cold weather (snow/ice), doesn’t ‘sail’ at highway speed; many report years of use with minimal wear.
  • Strong reduction in rock chips, mud/salt spray, and debris on paint, running boards/power steps, bumpers, trailers/RVs/boats; better coverage than OEM or molded plastic flaps; wide/long options praised for gravel roads and towing.
  • Many report perfect/direct fit using factory holes, adjustable in/out positioning, good clearance with certain tire sizes (including some 35" setups); brackets/caps/finishing pieces create an OEM-like look.
  • Flaps ‘look sharp’/classy and make trucks stand out; metal logo/weight plates (Ford/Chevy/Ram/GMC/trim packages, flags, black plate/gunmetal/chrome options) are a major purchase driver; replaceable plate concept appreciated.
  • When it goes well, installs are quick (often 30–60 minutes, sometimes without removing wheels); YouTube videos and templates frequently called helpful.
  • Repeated praise for fast shipping, responsive support, easy exchanges, and quick warranty replacements (torn flaps, scratched/damaged plates, wrong items, missing parts), often shipped same day.

Things to Consider

  • Most frequent complaint: ‘pricey/expensive’ (often $600–$1,000); some feel forced into buying additional bracket kits or plates, and a few call it overpaid/poor value.
  • Install can be time-consuming or frustrating on some vehicles/trim levels (wheel well liners, rock rails, factory flaps, dually setups); may require removing wheels, a right-angle drill, cutting slots, drilling into liners/plastic, aligning templates, or two-person help.
  • Multiple reviewers note ‘no-drill’ is misleading—often still requires drilling into plastic liners or flaps/templates (even if not into metal body).
  • Complaints about unclear/mismatched paper instructions vs video, too many similar washers in one bag, lack of labeling left/right, metric vs SAE hardware, bolt length/head size, and desire for black hardware instead of visible silver fasteners.
  • Occasional rubbing with oversized tires/offset wheels; some report holes not lining up, needing to elongate/drill new holes, bracket angles not matching, or flaps sitting too low for off-road use (ground clearance concerns).
  • Reports of scuffed/scratched plates from transit, damaged boxes, missing spacers/washers/clips/screws, wrong parts (e.g., two rear sets), and occasional hardware quality concerns (plastic nut inserts/clips pulling out, flimsy brackets in some kits).
  • A few mentions of rear flaps tearing at contour points over years, concern about clamps rubbing paint (suggest PPF), and metal-on-metal clamp/rust worries in salted winter climates.
