Rock Guard/Mud Flap

Anyone found a nice contoured mud flap/rock guard at any of the usual auto parts stores or internet sites? New paint and slightly wider tires necesitates. Thanks

There's no such thing as a nicely contoured mud flap for a 72 Cutlass. I have 225/70/14 on my car. The ones I have are black and 8 1/2" wide. They have Oldsmobile lettering on them. Reinforced rubber/nylon. Got them from GM. Don't know where you get them now.



To make them fit properly I had to install a rubber shim (slice of 5/16" fuel hose) so the flap wasn't bent by the contour of the stainless trim. The only downside to having flaps is drilling the holes through the stainless and quarter panel lip.
