    I'm looking for flares for my 2021 SR that did not come with flares so no holes for OEM. Not looking for the big Bushwhacker types, just the "street" variety.

    Has anyone installed the Lund Elite Series SX-Sport Style Fender Flares? Other recommendations?

    Thanks in advance for help!

    I think Lund are close to OEM. You will likely have to drill holes in your fenders to mount them.

    Technically you can install OEM flares, you just have to remove the front 2 clips since the bumper has no holes. The OEM flares use clips that mount on the fender like this and drilling holes would be unnecessary (or just use adhesive because that would be easier)

    Installation video is saying that it uses the bolts in wheel well and it has a rubber seal you put on the edge. No mention of drilling holes? Here's a link to install video on the site.

    The Lund have a more rounded 2nd gen-esque look than 3rd gen oem.

    Again the old saying of "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is proven by some TRD Pro guys removing their flares and SR guys searching for solutions that don't require OEM holes in the bodywork.
