    Hi all.
    I just bought a 23 limited with 10k miles. Had some chips in the paint at front edge of rear wheel well. I decided to add on running boards to pre event further damage. Installed OEM chrome ones (took about 20 minutes - amazing they were going to charge $300 to install them).
    Now bought some OEM mud flaps but when I went to install- the back ones seem to line up pretty well (not perfect) but the front ones don’t seem to line up. it seems like the flap would need to be cut to install? Anyone been through this?

    Welcome. Most are deleting their mud flaps. Hopefully someone can comment on the installing them part.

    Chris can you try to go into a little more detail on what you mean that you think it needs to be cut?
    The picture shows a hole that is about 3/16" off center correct? It looks like you are pushing the mud flap hard against the fender flare, but actually when you mount the mud flap there is a thin gap between the mud flap and flare. I think you should be able to loosely put the mud flap up and then you should be able to get all of the holes lined up fairly easily.

    UNLESS:
    You were given the mud flaps for an SR5 or Pro or Venture. These vehicles actually have a different side skirt and different rear bumper and the mud flaps lines are totally different. Can you give a part number or a full picture of one of your mud flaps? Are they more squared at the bottom or rounded?
