Mud Flaps/Splash Guards? SRT-8 2009 new

After some torrential rains here in South Carolina the last two days, the rear of my 2009 SRT (Black Pearl Coat) looks pretty bad. I was wondering (and I didn't see any so far on the Mopar Parts list) are there mud flaps available for the rear wheels? Or will that gunk up the appearance of the SRT-8 Challenger? What do you guys think? Or should I go to the car wash more often?

Speaking of SRT-8s, I had to stop at the Waffle House the other night to grab something to eat, and when I came out, there were 6 Highway Patrol men, standing around my SRT-8. At first, I didn't know what was going on, but then they told me they were admiring my car, and wanted to see under the hood, and listen to the engine, etc. They had stopped in to get something to eat, but my Challenger tore them away from the menu and they were really impressed by it. They asked me how fast it would go and I said "Oh around 60 or 70" and they all laughed at me.

I dont think mud flaps belong on these cars. Thats just my opinion of course. I had an 05 Tacoma Pre-Runner that had flaps on it but I took them off. Much cleaner look without em.

I'm starting to agree with that. Without rear mud flaps the tires look wider than they really are from certain angles. I'll just have to wash the car more often.

I installed all four of the Mopar ones on my Black RT, I dont think the alter the appearance much, frankly with the black car you hardly notice them. They do keep a lot of crap from hitting the rear quarters

Get a set on the back and you will like them. I am not sure about the front ones yet.
