Recommondation for fender flares

**Mindi51982** · 06-09-2009, 06:49 PM

So I'm going to strip the chrome fender trim off my truck and put on fender flares...but I don't know much about aftermarket ones. Anybody install any aftermarkets ones on their trucks? I was looking at Bushwackers, but there are lots of different brands out there. Anybody??

there are alot out there, i know bushwhackers dont require a huge amount of drilling, but theres got to be at least 50 different brands out there that make aftermarket flares

Yeah...that's the thing. There are sooo many different brands out there....I don't even know where to start.

What kind of flare do you want? Something that looks like the factory flares, something that sticks out really far, the kind with the bolts in them? That'll help to narrow it down..

Probably more or less factory flares with the textured look. I'm not sure how the bolt-on ones will look on my truck. I don't plan on getting real bigger tires just yet...and if I do, I'd go for a 33" tire at the very highest.

I like the look with the rivet/bolt heads myself.. makes it look rugged.

I have no idea about what/where/when of fender flare purchase, but seems that LMC Truck is popular for getting (near) factory anything.

I actually dont like the fender flares. Id say stay with the chome trim or just bare fenders if your not planing on running anything bigger than a 33" tire. they only look good on trucks that have big tires

Yeah...it's one of those mods that is a personal preference.
