body colored molded mud guard possible problem - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

camarossrs2150 · 05-06-2009, 02:27 PM

just went to my dealer he was putting on a set of mud guards on a 2ss the front one didnt look right because of the little gm symbol on the lower part of the fender .the guard goes over it by about an 8th to 1/4 inch over it .so it doent fit flush .may be a concern for anyone who wants to go after market .i think maybe they should have put a cut out on the flap itself to go around the gm emblem. i only care because if its not flush all kinds of shit will get into that gap .im not complaining im just putting it out there

Thats strange the pics I saw of them installed on the car they missed the emblem by more than an inch.

Camaroyoung · 05-06-2009, 02:37 PM

I was planning on getting these but after seeing some pictures, not so sure. Is there any regular mud flaps made for the new camaro? I hope some more options are available soon.

Sloppy Joe · 05-06-2009, 02:38 PM

I'd take some dental floss and remove that GM symbol in a heartbeat if it meant I was going to have a gap. It looks weird stuck down there any way.

now im wondering if there was a problem with the mud flaps i will get back to you

GothamCamaro · 05-06-2009, 02:44 PM

I've seen a few others with the quarter flare mud flaps with the same clearance from the GM emblem, that should not be an issue...

Hillbilly · 05-06-2009, 02:46 PM

After looking at other picture without the mud flats, maybe they moved the emblems back a bit to make room?

I don't think so though.

Maybe he was putting the REAR ones on the front? Name: huh.gif

Hillbilly · 05-06-2009, 02:51 PM

maybe thats the moles job and he screwed that one up while reading forums.

camarossrs2150 · 05-06-2009, 02:53 PM

all i know is that i will be doing them myself

RoyalKev · 05-06-2009, 02:53 PM

Lol hillbilly

cerberus · 05-06-2009, 03:00 PM

Could it be a LT vs SS? The original post was a SS and the pictures were a LT.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

SSOOCH · 05-06-2009, 03:10 PM

Mud flaps on a Camaro....LOL!

Camaro509 · 05-06-2009, 03:12 PM

Could also be that on that one car the GM badge was put on incorrectly.
Imagine that the esteemed gentlemen above have it right in that they are
possibly trying to put the rear guards on the front...

PQ · 05-06-2009, 03:22 PM

Actually maybe not.

detroitboy · 05-06-2009, 05:07 PM

That emblem looks like a pain to wash/wax around anyway. I think it needs to be removed.

edog · 05-06-2009, 05:18 PM

I better not have a gap. I will look at it first before the test drive. It will be a savings for me if it does not fit correctly.

Nothing personal, but I do not want anything jerry rigged! LOL!

Morepwr · 05-06-2009, 05:20 PM

Mudflaps should only have the chrome girlie on them!

I'll take 'em. I need to slap them on the Envoy and Sonoma.

Anything you guys don't want, shoot me a PM. Camaro badges, GM badges, Chevy badges, whatever.

Toyota badges work too. I'll use them for solder or something.

justmeron · 05-06-2009, 05:22 PM

I wouldn't want mud flaps on a camaro anyway.
