    Look a little better, wish the factory flares stuck out a little more. 1/2" isn't enough

    I may get some bushwackers down the road.



    Driver side is done, passenger side will get done tomorrow while I'm painting the wells on the driver side.

    The only thing bushwackers are good for is completely destroying your fenders

    lol it wouldn't be those pocket style ones with the fake bolts, the extend-a-fender kind. ive always liked the look of them.

    expensive though. I like how these are going to look. the tricky part is going to be getting the screws on the passenger side in the same exact place as they are on the driver side lol OCD!

    front flare was much easier to get on than the rear and didn't require as many screws. I had to stretch the rear one to get it to fit, the flare didn't want to sit flush with the inside of the fender. might look for some black bolts, not sure how I feel about the stainless ones.

    my only complaint about these flares is the front doesn't go all the way to the edge, it leaves about 1" of the bumper edge showing, ill take a picture tomorrow and show you guys.

    I looked at some other pictures of these OEM style parts and it seems like that's the norm. not sure how I feel, might contact the guy and ask about it.

    Those look good! Nothing wrong with the street flares either. As long as they don't have the fake bolts ha ha. My street flares mount under the fender with compression clips, so no drilling into the fender. I took them off with my new wheels, my tires stuck out about an inch and after the first drive my truck was filthy so I put them back on, I honestly like it better. I'm on the flare band wagon ha ha.

    Drill or no drill, they still ruin your fenders over time. No thanks.

    These look great though. I just hate anything wider except for on a few rare occasions where wider flares look good.

    thanks dudes.

    my fenders shouldn't get ruined. these flares have double sided tape the whole length of the flare to stop it from rubbing, just need to wipe the area down on the fender before I stick em on.

    the main reason im putting these flares on Is to save my fenders, I don't want any rust. my 02 had perfect fenders on it, factory flares saved em.

    I just painted all of the drill holes with 2 coats of por-15 and now I just put 4 coats of bedliner on the inside lip of the fender HOPING to stop any and all rust from happening. they were starting to get chipped up from not having any protection from rocks.
