Are the OEM splash guards being cancelled?

Well, Ford.com accessories still don't have them, and they're finally marked as "not in stock". I called them on Friday to cancel the rear guards I had ordered, and they are processing that cancellation. I did find a seller on eBay from Canada that had the rears in stock, so I ordered two sets (one for my MME and one for my wife's), and they have already arrived and are installed. Haven't driven enough since then to really know if they affect range at all, but from what I've read the OEM were designed to not impact the airflow much if at all, so the affect should be minimal. I also do not do a lot of highway driving (mostly side roads), which I would imagine wouldn't be as affected as much if it did negatively impact the range. Overall, I do really like the looks of the OEM, so I'm glad I was able to get some, just really odd that they haven't gotten them in in stock in over a month.

Weird. When I check the Ford Accessories site, it says they're ready to ship by June 18. Did it say they were available when you ordered them, only to contradict that later?

Yeah, it was marked as "will ship by" three days after i ordered. They've sat "in processing" for over a month even though for most of that time it had a 3 day window on the main part page. The person I talked to at the accessories site on the phone sounded really surprised they were still like that. I even tried to order a set through eBay from the official Ford seller (which had it listed as in stock) just to see if it was just the Accessory site it was an issue, and that purchase was canceled on eBay too.

Too bad. That's terrible logistics management.

Yeah, definitely strange. I got the fronts no problem in the 3 day time span, along with the floor mats for both mine and my wife's MME. I guess another benefit of buying them from the Canadian seller was that they were about 40% less expensive overall, so a net win that they didn't have them.
