curious if anyone knows, do the OEM fender flares have any tape or adhesive holding them on besides the clips etc? I know there is a 3 piece rubber grommet along the top edge, wasn't sure if it was backed with adhesive or a bonding agent of some kind, or if it is held in place with pressure. Does anyone know?

 

I just took mine off and replaced them there is a double sided tape along the whole outer line of factory flares.

 

I was incorrect, deleted post, my bad.

 

Not trying to prove anyone wrong just letting him know.

 

Here you go brother......

Turns out this company is a OEM for many companies, but mostly ships parts in mexico, but they have expanded to the US.

 

Nice, but pricey. The fender and rocker panel kits alone will run nearly $1k.

 

Yeah, But, its OEM quality. I do like that the "bolts" are real bolts, but they dont need to be drilled.

Those are the parts that Im interested in, fenders, sides and tailgate cover.

Here is the full kit they offer.

Ouch$$$$ thanks!!!!

 

well now i know what i saw a few days ago...

 

I like the flares but not much on the body panels!!!

 

I actually really like the whole kit. Gives it a more "armored" look. The door covers look like some pretty good door ding protection (i know rock sliders are better door protection)

 

Im loving my bushwackers I swapped to

 

Looks like a bunch of tumors growing on that thing

 

Is the blue a wrap or is it sprayed on?

I am not normally a fan of bushwackers but they work on your truck with the bumper, lift, wheels, etc.

 

I agree ... that really looks bad and the cladding would look terrible after a few rounds on a real off-road trail. The front looks the best while the rest seems like an after thought for glorified mall crawlers ... not getting it and understand everyone is entitled to their taste.

 

On their website and all their instructional videos there are no mentions of the silver baffle/shield just behind the grille; it appears to be some type of bug shield for the radiator to prevent large bugs from going through and sticking to the radiator or merely a cosmetic panel? Does anyone know what it is? It's not an item you can purchase separately and it only appears as a screen shot intro before the start of the video.
