Sometimes it is in a contrasting color, like the lower cladding, and sometimes it is body colored, also like the lower cladding.

Re: MMH Mud Flaps (Splash Guards)
I spent the whole afternoon yesterday to install the mud guards. When installing the rear mud guards, I jacked up the car to remove the tire, but even when the jack was at maximum height, the tire didn't leave the ground like the manual says.
Do I have to deflate the tire to remove it?
Anyway, I was able to drill some holes at an angle and installed the mud guards.

Re: MMH Mud Flaps (Splash Guards)
Thanks for the tip and part numbers on the splash guards Walt!
I bought mine a couple of weeks ago and they look like a perfect fit.
Now I just need to find the 1/2 day to install them.

The illustrations in the manual aren't that clear, and there is no text telling you what the parts are.

Re: MMH Mud Flaps (Splash Guards)
They do, but you need the rear ones which are not for fender flares (read the details on that webpage).
Of course, they will say "Ford" and not "Mercury" on them. That bothered me, and that's why I went with the Husky ones which have no name on them.
