    The stock inner fender splash shields are not the greatest. Winter is coming and I like to keep my engine bay clean. So I decided to make some better splash shields. I made some for my F150 and they work great. I used some sheet rubber, made a template, Drilled new holes for some x-mas tree push pins. That's the super fast write up. LOL. Here are some pics. Enjoy!

    Stock inner fender splash shields.

    OP you might consider doing a small batch of these for sale. If you have the desire. There's been several people who have expressed interest in a better solution, yours seems to fit the bill.

    Do you think you could work up something similar for the gap between the front fascia and front fenders?

    Where a lot of tire thrown crud ends up on the paint?

    Thanks for the complements guys. This project is easy to do. Hardest part is making your template. But you only need one template because you just reverse it for the other side.
