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.

No Drill Install for Front & Rear

This is the third set of these mud flaps that I've purchased.  The first set I installed the front flaps using the self tapping screws that were included.  They were easy enough to install but I really didn't like the idea drilling holes into the truck.  The next two sets I installed the front flaps using the existing factory screws.  I had to make a couple of little brackets out of 1.5" aluminum flat stock to make it work.  Aluminum brackets are 1/8" x 1 1/2" x 2 1/4".  The first 3/16" hole is drilled 3/8" from the end and is counter sunk.  The second hole is roughly 1 1/8" from the same end.  The first thing I did was make a cardboard template to figure out where to drill the holes in the flaps.  Each side of the truck was slightly different so don't use the same template to drill both sides without double checking that they line up correctly.  I also used a couple of 4x4 blocks stacked on top of each other to make sure I was installing the flaps level with the ground.  I bought the support brackets to install the rear flaps.  The new brackets are better than the ones that were included 2-3 years ago.  They've changed them slightly so the line up better and the flaps don't stick out quite as far.  It did take quite a bit of time to line everything up and do the install this way mostly because I didn't want to drill holes in the wrong spot.  I like how they turned out.

- Izaak on 12/20/2018

They are a stainless steel plate with a gunmetal finish on them. So they do still have a mirrored finish.

Truck Hardware Gatorback Gunmetal "Bowtie" Logo Mud Flaps - Set

Add a sleek and stylish look to your truck with the Truck Hardware Gatorback Gunmetal "Bowtie" Logo Mud Flap Set. 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 are engineered for a precise fit. Made from 12-inch wide heavy-duty premium virgin rubber, these flaps provide full tire coverage and superior protection against rocks, mud, and other road debris while adding a rugged and refined look to your truck. Built to withstand the toughest conditions, these mud flaps ensure your truck remains protected even during off-road adventures.

These Gatorback mud flaps feature the iconic Chevrolet Bowtie logo, officially licensed for authenticity, die-stamped into a 304 stainless steel plate with a titanium darkened finish and a hand-applied vinyl overlay. This unique gunmetal finish adds a touch of elegance and strength to your truck's appearance. The front flaps provide 9 inches of tire coverage, while the rear flaps provide 7.5 inches, effectively shielding your truck's finish from road debris.

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 and requires only basic tools. Be 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 secured using custom-fit rear support brackets along with one or two self-tapping screws to hold them tightly against the wheel well. This method ensures the flaps stay in place and do not flap into the tires, even under challenging driving conditions.

Key Features

  • Premium Virgin Rubber: Made from UV-resistant virgin rubber for superior durability, flexibility, and resistance to cracking—ideal for harsh environments.
  • Gunmetal Bowtie Logo: Features a stainless steel plate with a gunmetal finish and the iconic Bowtie logo, adding a unique and refined touch to your truck.

Terms

  • Virgin Rubber: High-quality rubber that is not recycled, providing superior flexibility, durability, and resistance to cracking.
  • Sailing: A term used to describe the movement of mud flaps due to airflow, causing them to lift or move out of position, especially at high speeds.
  • Self-Tapping Screws: Screws designed to create their own threads as they are driven into a material, ensuring a secure fit.
  • OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): Refers to the quality and design standards set by the original manufacturer, ensuring compatibility and high quality.
