eBay Fender flares

Well guys, I haven't seen anything good or bad about the eBay specials, so I'm gonna order them today and see what happens

 

Well damnit....that brand says it's for long beds ...

 

Guess it's gonna be these...

 

I noticed that as well last night. RDJ looks to be the ones to go with. At least they have a short bed version. Let me know how it goes! I will be right behind you with a purchase if you have good feedback. There are several reviews on Amazon that seem favorable.

 

So the flares should be here on Tuesday. Ill keep you guys posted as to how they are. They probably wont be installed until next sunday.

 

got a text from Jim's auto, asking me to bring the truck in to paint match the flares! gonna try to take the stock flares off this weekend.

 

I have those, not painted just black. I'm on dirty 5's and didn't want to cut my stock flares when cut fenders. For my purpose they were fine (way better then spending $500 on bushwhacker) so I'm happy with them, but also I'm not concerned about perfect, more so that they do there job

 

Good enough for government work

 

Any incite on the fitment and install? Pics would be great!

 

are these the ebay ones?

and those STEELIES!!!!!!!!

 

Do your stock flares match your truck? I have the dark grey and the flares look like a lighter color.

 

not realy, they are a bit duller in finish, but colors seems same.

 

Yes the jdm truck ones. The fitment and install different then most, have cut fenders, and replace all the chrome hardware with longer black hardware and drilled and bolted right threw the fender. My truck at my shop so I'll get pics tomorrow. Doing shake down drive on my lifted Miata

 

I can get get you some pics tomorrow.

 

I'm in for your input as well. I am going to cut mine, so 500 for bushwackers is a bit much. Do they at least form to the fenders well, or were they distorted/not formed correctly?
I'm going to order some here soon i think.

 

Crap forgot pics!! But I think there worth the price

 

I'll get some pics tomorrow!! I searched for a thread like this when I got mine a few months ago. So I want to help someone else out

 

Is removing the flares as easy as the 4 bolts and popping them off the truck?

 

Hell no...unless you wanna break every clip lol

 

If you attempt to rip off the fender flares a couple things can happen.

These are based on my experience removing the stock flares 2 times.

First thing is some of the clips will break
Second thing is some of them will pop off and be reusable
Third thing is the the fender flares clip mount will break off and won't be able to reuse the mount unless you epoxy it back on somehow

So yes you could theoretically just rip them off, but if you want to reuse them it might get painful sourcing new clips and fixing broken clip mounts.
