    Trying to find correct fender flares for this recently purchased 2017 tacoma, everything I have found online shows flares that come down past the black bumper, I was trying to find a set that stops at the black bumper line as I think that would look better, does anyone make a set that stops at bumper? Am I just be too picky, how would it look for flares to come down on bumper? would it be recommended to cut flares to stop at bumper?, new here thanks for any advice..everthing I find online shows flares on color matched bumpers..cant find any shown with black bumper like this. 1227211451_HDR.jpg

    The product that you seek, to the best on my knowledge, simply doesn't exist.
    If I were in your position and just had to have the flares, I'd paint match the bumper to the truck and flares.
    Never seen flares hacked at the spot on a bearded Taco, so I can't give an opinion on just how bad that might or might not look.

    Good luck.

    Here's my Utility with OEM flares. They are not cheap, there's a tutorial here on the site on how to apply them.

    Yep. If not painting the bumper, I think this is the way to go. The TRD off-road and PRO models come with these black (non-painted) flares. This is the most reasonable and best looking option for your truck in my opinion.

    Not sure how you feel about flared fenders, but I went with the bushwacker flares. The good - I like the more aggressive look they provide. They would look better over 35s though. The bad - not crazy about the silver bolts. I opted to leave them as is since they matched my XD wheels. A bit tacky, especially with all the other mods I did (bit overdone). I would prefer blacked out all the way around, but I hit a mod wall and don't have the desire to change anything else out at this point.

    They can be cut just as I had to do to fit my Honeybadger bumper.
