    Anyone find a cost effective alternative to factory fender flares? I know about trading, and already might have something lined up, but I think I might just want to buy so it's not a forever decision. Thanks

    Oh look, another mod....
    I had the dealership paint my black fender flares. They charged me $660 for it and took them 3 days. Well, it took the paint shop three days. But they had other cars ahead of me... I love the way it turned out.

    If you replace them or paint them, be very careful with the clips. They are hard to remove and easy to break!

    What's the offset on your wheels? Are they flush, tucked in, or stick out a little. Im looking for wheels and not sure what offset I need to stick out just a little past those flares. Thanks

    First I tried to plasti-dip, it turned out terrible. I stripped it off and tried raptor liner. So easy, great result, and it’s super durable. It was also pretty easy to remove the fenders. Buy new clips and 3m adhesive strips, watch a YouTube video and just go slow.

    Per last post, here’s the only picture I have. It’s a rough textured finish but I like it. I ran it through a car wash and it held up fine. I used 2 cans completely and feel good about it, but I’d had a third can I probably would have done another coat. (I did 3 good coats, and one super light coat)C31AEC29-52AA-462F-8AD9-937DD9BBD54B.jpg
