Before anyone hashes me about "take the flaps off...." I'm not a fan of flaps either, but I hate rock chips more. Where I live there's tons of sand/rocks on the road and it'll chew up the paint in no time.

The P/O had the factory front molded flaps but removed the rear because he didn't like the GMC logo's.

I was planning on just buying the color matched molded flaps from the dealer but I'm not will to get gouged over $200 for a set.

Let's see what MOLDED flaps you guys are running. The husky's seem like a good choice but I'm not sold on their shape. I wanted to just keep the front one's I have but I don't want an odd-looking set.

Is there an alternative to the factory rear set WITHOUT logos?

Get rubber flaps.

Had those rubber Gatorbacks on my Denali, while they did provide great protection... I think they're hideous.

It's kind of a compromise with the molded flaps, but I think they're the best looking option.

I think oem splash guards are a joke, they a not long/low enough to prevent rocks from hitting truck.

I buy big, ryderfleetproducts.com and cut to fit. Like to keep front only an inch or two off the ground.

These is what I pieced together. Aluminum splash guards on rear. Huge and solid, fronts still have give. Weighted bottom to keep down driving. And use only stainless hardware.

Not a single chip on the rocker panels over 770,000 miles.

Yeah and i get that most people don't like the molded flaps and if my truck wasn't slammed i'd say they were impractical but i need short ones that sit flush with the fenders or my wheels rub. Truth is my entire truck is impractical. My dealer has been trying to find them for the past 5 months and we've tried 5-6 pairs and none have been right. I do have the front pair but cant seem to find the rear ones...

You are looking for splash guards, not mud flaps. Mud flaps actually provide complete coverage....Dura Flaps are excellent!

Which flaps are those? Thinking of changing out the OEM ones on mine, they dont cover nearly enough.
