    Those parts are not the flare. The flare itself costs between $300-400 a pop depending on where you get them and shipping. Unpainted of course.

    I just fucked up one of mine and need to replace it.

    My part number is 7587304030. The parts in your link are for the wheel aprons or what ever they call the liner.

    Here is the flare: http://parts.olathetoyota.com/auto-...gas-engine/body-cat/exterior-trim-fender-scat
    Just front one is $240, rears are more

    Hate to thread jack but if one has the sport model with already painted flares and I want to paint them black, do I need to do all the sanding and adhesion promoter stuff?

    Yes. Prep is the most important step in the process.

    Okay, so if I am going to do my rocker panels as well I would
    1.sand lightly using 5-800~ grit sandpaper(after rubbing down with alcohol and masking off area
    2. Spray primer-2-3 light coats
    3. Spray paint-3-4 coats
    4. Profit?

    Ehhhhhhhh

    Not only that but you'll likely have to sand too. It can be done BUT just know that is a lotof work requiring a lot of patience and attention to detail. Think of what the price is worth to you.

    If they were white might be better but if a metallic color youll probably have more prep to do.

    I checked last year about getting my flares done with Line-X, but the cost to have a body shop remove them, have them sprayed and replaced was almost as much as a full set of Bushwhackers!

    Yeah I have a white truck this is it now and the bottom is what I want it to look like. Of course, I have a bumper and slider on the way so it will be slightly different, but you get the point

    Have you gotten a Line-X quote? Because that would look bad ass and give you extra protection for off road use. Also what about wrapping?

    Painting white shouldn't be as horroble as a clear coat color. Just don't go batshit crazy on coats haha

    those don't look that bad. your truck is really clean :thumbsup:. just dip them, thats what I did, looks great if you do it right. For some reason sometimes the dip would come out all chunky and look awful though so I had to redo a couple fenders.

    as for second gens, :notsure:. Id either rip them off or color match them.
