    I figured it was a typo in the title. Then I saw it again in the post. I'm curious now.

    I'm guessing $400 genders come out of a back alley in Bangkok. Are you sure you're not happy with the factory installed gender?

    I think all this tomfoolery scared the OP off. His first post did not achieve the desired result.

    Lol sorry this is hilarious. Yes not sure if the finger slipped or auto correct got it!!! But fender flares are what I'm looking for. The stock flares are messed up and I'm trying to fix the truck up and I'm afraid to even ask the dealership what they want for factory ones.

    If it's coming out of a back alley in Bangkok, it's probably closer to $4.

    but... on actual point :crapstorm: ( i know i know) I just redid mine. sanded with 120 grit to scuff them up and sprayed with dupli-color bedliner. one can from autoparts worked fine and was like $12


    sanded and cleaned:

    Installed: (dirty from me handling them)

    Close up:

    IMG_20170314_153944.jpg

    Added some new weather stripping to the back to protect paint. and have a few fender clips ready... I broke a lot of them :D. Although, if you take off the inner liners you can remove them correctly...





    OK. Back to assuming fender genders...

    did you buy the weather stripping from somewhere or just something generic and make it work?
