I just finished putting the factory ICE mudflaps on. Even though the website says it will NOT fit the Lightning, it will with some modifications. The rears don’t fit well over the existing plastic molding. It helps a lot if you remove that molding and trim some of it off. See my pic. It’ll also be pretty evident as you try and place the mudflaps in place that the hump, which I trimmed off, gets in the way of a flush fit. This extra hump is not on the equivalent ICE trim piece This is also why the guy in the YouTube video can’t get one of the fold over clips on.
The front is only a little off and takes a bit of gentle persuasion to line everything up. Or you can break out an X-Acto knife and do some minor trimming of the mudflaps itself.
Neither front nor the rear will fit perfect because the body around the arches is a little different between the ICE and the Lightning. The ICE has a 90 degree transition to the fender lip, but the Lightning has two transitions of 45 degrees in the same space.
I had a lot of time to compare with a 2022 ICE vehicle and the front and rear fenders are definitely from a different mold. Some of the character lines are also different. Thus unless the WeatherTech ones are Lightning specific, there will be the same fitment issues.
