Aftermaket front Mud Guards for 2012 M5 GT

[dieseldriver]

Anyone know of a aftermarket mud guards that will fit the 2012 M5 GT? Apparently the factory mud guard does not fit because of side skirt.

Well, for the time being, I may cut these to align with the side skirt and use these until the OEM comes out for the M5 GT.

Those may work, but from the pic look like they may hang down pretty low.
As you can see, the OEM guards for side-skirtless M5s only extend down about 3" tops. To be truly effective at guarding against splashing they'd go up the wheel well higher and extend out another inch or two.

I was actually thinking that too, and may wind up just cutting the extended section. Once I do that, it may look similar to the rear ones. It's just odd that Mazda did not think of the mud guards from the get go. But you know something, the rear ones were easy to install and everything fit like a glove, I was really surprised. If it was VW, it would have been an all day affair plus I would have broke something while doing it.

Rally armor has universal, cut-to-fit urethane mudflaps that should work. I've had them on two of my subarus and they work awesome (though they were model-specific). Oops...just noticed how old this thread was.
