Arrow mudflaps for winter

I'm looking to put mud (for snow, actually) flaps on my 4.8is. I just want to put them behind my front wheels to protect the doors and the lower molding. I was wondering if any of you guys have done this. If so, are the permanent? how do they hold up? Are they OEM or aftermarket? and finally, are they easy to install?

Thanks for the help!

The OEM front flaps are easy to install...just held on by screws. The rears, however, are held on using a combination of screws and glue. Note that the front flaps are different depending if you have running board or not.

I had mine installed at delivery and has held on great after almost 6 years now.

I'm pretty sure 'Realchef' has mud flaps fitted. Drop him a PM, I'm sure he'll help you out.
Me, I've got them fitted as well, however only on the rear. Your statement re fitting them on the front to protect the lower painted portions and moulding makes perfect sense.
