    So, I have a brand new 2017 tacoma SR access cab (without the seats in the access part) which was the least expensive new tacoma I could find. I'm trying to buy some weathertech mud flaps for it, and the first question they ask you on the weather tech site is this: "Is your truck equipped with (OE)factory fender flares or fender lip moulding?" I don't know the answer to that question...the fenders look like they have a little flare to them...but I can't really tell.
    I have nothing to compare them to to tell if they have "factory fender flares" or not.
    I did not order anything special for my truck...except for the "utility package" which meant there
    would be no back seats.
    So...ordering the mud flaps depends on the answer to that question. The mud flaps at weathertech both look the same whether you answer yes, I have fender flares, or no, I do not
    have fender flares, but the mud flaps have different "item numbers" according to which answer you give...so...can anyone help me sort this out? I just want to get mud flaps. Thanks...

    No, the SR doesn't come with factory flares. Yes, there is a difference between the two options from Weathertech. Rokblokz mudflaps and Plasticolor mudflaps are both alternatives.

    Sounds like you have a great truck.

    Thanks guys!...Jimi, Joshua, Joe and T's in Gensokyo. That all helped...I didn't know what flares really looked like
    compared to no flares. Now I do. And thanks for the suggestions for mud flaps. ...appreciate it.
