    Anyone have any advice on after market fender flares?
    Really trying not to fork out over $350+ on buschwackers.
    Any suggestions or links would be greatly appreciated!

    Ps does anyone have any experience with Amazon/eBay specials?

    EDIT: I currently do not have fender flares, open to oem or aftermarket if anyone has a good link.

    For the love of God, be happy with the stock flares!!! Leave well enough alone....aftermarket flares are just horrible...they all seem to exist to allow tools to compensate for whatever self perceived shortcomings they have. Just know when to say enough is enough!!

    Sorry to be so harsh, but your truck looks awesome. Maybe its just my personal taste, but stock would look awesome on your rig.

    if you are looking for a bolt on look, just bolt the factory flares on. on my truck a bunch of the clips were broken off so they would flab around. i bolted them on and i think it makes the truck look so much better

    A few additions to make me feel cool.
    I put bushwackers on my 07 ad regretted it. If you can find OEM go that route if you can. Find some bushwackers sometimes on CL or something of the sort. Keep in mind having to get them painted or dealing with fading on a knock off set. Good luck.

    $350 is dirt cheap. What gets expensive is actually getting them painted. Typically fully painted Bushwackers are $1,500.
