I have them, and I had to have the Dodge dealer drill in a few extra screws to keep the front mud flaps on tight. The ones on the rear seem OK. I would recommend that you keep them clean after you drive in the snow and ice so that the extra weight does not put extra wear on them.

Heard from many other Challenger owners on another forum that they prefer mudflaps other than Mopar. Most popular ones I found others use are from RPI designs made especially for the Challenger and that's what I have. Have had them 8+ months, drive the car daily and have had no issues. They attach with clips-no drilling, look nice and really help keep the car cleaner...

I attached the link below if you want to take a look:

Anna.....aka.....HemiMom.......one of the first things I did to my 2009 Challenger at my dealer was to have them install the factory mud flaps ......now I want you to know that the mechanic that installed them is a good friend of mine but he said that they use the plastic push pins that hold the plastic inner fender well on to the fender and when you pull the couple out to install the mud flaps sometimes you damage the push pin. So he said to use new push pins ( they are only a couple of dollars for 4 of them ) when installing the mud fllaps . He also told me ( not trying to sell me as I had already purchased mine ) that the Mopar flaps are a heavery plastic thats more durable and they are manufactured to fit the fender lip exactly .

I have almost 10,000 miles on my Chally and have washed the flaps many times and they are not loose and holding up very well . Last thing is that I had them installed at 1,500 miles when I did my first oil change and I've noticed that they really help keeping the throw back dirt off the sides of the car especially the shiny stuff that spins off after you tire shine your tires ...lol......especially the back ones ....you get a little throw back on the front fender cause your wheels turn but that can't be helped .

Hope this helps you decide which way to go and if you need to ask me more please IM me here or if you like you can even call me at 609-296-1915
