    i'm rockin' the OEM fender flares that came on the truck for now, but Bushwacker makes a quality fender flare in several styles that should fit your personality and/ or complete the look you're going for.

    EGR's on mine... I believe the 2". They are made of a thin plasitic fiberglass type of material. I remove mine every spring and clean behind them. So far they are holding up vary well.

    I did not install any wheel well liners. what I did was use a fiberglass mineral based rust proofing compound called rustfre. this product is very flexable and stops rust. with a brush application 2-3 coats will last many years like on my 13yr old truck. wheel wells no rust , very resistant to wear from road crap.

    if you do install a liner use this product first then install the liners.

    I bought a pair and snapped them in this afternoon.
    They look great and really change the rear view of the truck.
    A great cheap mod at about $85
