Front Fender Flap

Does anybody know of a front fender flap? Seems to me like a flap on the front fender would maybe keep some of the rocks from hitting the rear fender.
Anybody have any ideas?
i have been thinking about puting one on also,but my question is the air coming off the tire helps in cooling the oil cooler is anybody noticing a difference in oil temps with mud flap installed?
 
I don't know if this will help, but I plan on making my own flaps and my plan is to use those long stringy type flaps, like seen on UPS tractor trailers. I plan to make them touch the ground, I think that style will let enough air thru and still stop rocks & other missiles from hitting the cooler on the front and protect my Mini Mate Trailer out back. I think it will also help, when there's no trailer, with things thrown out back as that third wheel kicks up stuff from the center of the lane.

As I posted before,,,,, I am having to put a fan on the oil cooler to cure the problem the mud flap causes.
The flap is a must so the oil cooler is kept clean. but it does cut off the cooling air a lot. My flap is only about 2" past the fender extension.
If you use one of the fringe type flaps, the wind will blow them out of the way & you might not even stop the mud & such.

I found that not to be true in my research, I have spent time beside & behind UPS Tractor Trailers, on quite a few occasions, in all types of weather & road conditions, road repair detours, including storms & pouring rain and I was amazed at how well they worked when compared to other trucks on the hwy. It was during a rain storm that I first noticed how well they worked and thought they would be great for my TG. I guess I have spent too much time on the hwy between St. Louis & Evansville, sad when it gets so boring that you spend time looking at mud flaps! :D
