    Does anyone make a wider fender flare for the 3rd gen that meets this criteria?

    1. Wider than stock
    2. ABS (or FRP)
    3. No rivets
    4. Follows contour of the fenders/wheel well openings and not look horrid like Bushwackers

    I can only seem to find fiberglass fenders, not much for flares.

    There was a guy on a Tacoma Facebook page that managed to source wider flares, just like you are describing.
    I thought it was unique, especially because you can paint them to match and it would look stock.

    All that I have seen have pockets for exposed hardware. Even EGR has pockets. Even Honey-D.

    I have seen a wider flare without pockets, but it's fiberglass.

    Sorry, I wish there was an answer for you, but there is nothing that fits that criteria. Because I am in the same boat.

    Pockets for the rivets *can* look decent, but I just absolutely hate the way the bushwacker shape is. It doesn't fit the lines of the wheel wells/fenders at all

    Wow. Such sad. Much broke.

    Must mean he only has flares for the right side.

    Something like this, but for 3rd gens and modeled like the OEM flares as they actually match the fender well shape
