anyone buying or switching out offroad fender flares for sport fenders ??

i am looking for a way to buy new or trade out my black wheel well fenders on my 2016 4x4 off road for silver painted fenders like as in the sport model. i have black now im looking to switch to painted......anyone in oahu wanna trade off road black fender flares for silver painted ones? lmk

 

I want to do the same and was considering having mine painted silver at my local body shop. Live in DFW if anyone wants to make a swap!

Currently own a 2016 TRD OR Double Cab Silver

 

i asked the parts department at servo hawaii they basically laughed at me for asking about buying silver painted fenders. i guess they may sell them unpainted. expensive like $220 each or something unpainted

 

I was going to paint mine until I saw the beating the flares takes on the trails.

 

Colored/painted is fine on a street/campground truck. (except they will catch door dings)

The black is much more durable if you actually off road.

 

did you ever find a way to get painted fender flares yet??

 

I have silver I'd be willing to swap for black. Located in SoCal.

 

I PLAN ON PAINTING MINE WHEN MY TRUCK GETS HERE, I'M GOING TO PAINT IT RIGHT ON THE TRUCK WITHOUT REMOVING IT. I THINK IT WILL SAVE TIME DOING IT RIGHT WHERE IT SITS BY TAPING IT OFF AND COVERING THE TRUCK WITH A SHEET OF PLASTIC. GOING TO DO IT IN MY GARAGE AT HOME. $.02

 

let me know how it goes and post a pic please !. ive seen some other posts where guys have removed the original OR fender flares and had painted at a body shop and they looked good. the black fenders really arent that bad either. they look better in person then in photos on the truck. Molokai has the sick off roading!

 

The black fenders add accents to the otherwise boring monotonic paint color.

 

Have you painted these fenders since you got the truck? If so, any pictures? I'm looking at possibly doing this rather than buying replacement fenders for my Sport.

 

I'd have super white painted flares that I'd be willing to trade for OR flares. Would have to be local meet up. Live in Washington state.

 

Eh.. some could argue that the unpainted stuff means its a cheaper version of the truck. Thats how it used to be in the 90s-2000s. Black meant bottom of the line.

Heck, why not get the SR utility front bumper.

 

Yes because flares are the same thing as the whole entire front bumper.

 

ill trade you my quicksand ones

Just plasti dip them I did my scoop and flares in 4 hours, with minimal masking and it came out great. I Can switch back to new white ones whenever I feel.

this is how they look after 4 months, still like new.

 

How did you go about masking off the wheel well?

 

That may be until people started offroading more expensive versions and got pissed looking at scratched or chipped paint matched fender flairs.
