    They are inexpensive to replace if they get messed up.

    Looking at getting the Bushwacker Flares. Can anyone tell me how much wider the Bushwacker flare is compared to stock.

    Don t over-think it. Leave them alone or paint them black. 2nd they prolly give you 1/2 -2in of extra coverage 20170527_115132.jpg

    Those flares look legit. I also have a white Taco. Which brand are those flares? I'm assuming they came black and you had them painted?

    I had a buddy that paints for a living spray mine with black base and flat clear for $100. They cleaned well and we're very durable. Sunlight didn't fade them at all
