Tacoma Sr fender flare

anyone have any suggestions on fender flares for a 2016 Sr Tacoma

 

bushwhacker....google is good.

 

Yeah ive seen them. Just wanted to see what everyone else has went with. And since how my fenders already have a flare to the mold didn’t know if it would still work out or stick out even more

 

Bushwacker looks good...Toyota also makes an OEM pocket flare that I have and favors Bushwacker without the drilling. A little pricey, but can sometimes be found online somewhere cheaper (i.e. Craigslist, Ebay).

 

Yeah looks pretty good in the pics. What did you hate about them.
I don’t want them to stick out a lot that’s why I’m a fan of the trd pro flares.

 

The predicament will be that bigger flares will need larger tires and wheel offset to fill the flare!... which is good for looks but tough on the checkbook.

Those SR wheels look great for factory equipment!

 

How about these??? . . .oh wait, never mind. it looks awesome without them!!

I actually agree. Sure they look cool installed, but I think that model actually looks good without anything also.

 

I like the look and the practical side of no flares. They trap a lot of crap between the body and the flare. Not an option on 2gen 4WD.

 

This is a bit exaggerated unless your flares are not properly installed. Flares will protect your paint from potential scratches and are replaceable. Do you still prefer no flares?

 

Big fan of the bushwhacker profile and I hate drilling holes in the truck so these worked out well. Install time was extremely fast and pleasant, and the price has dropped significantly since I purchased them in early 2016. Only thing was I had to take the rear stock mud fin off, and I was going to trim it and put it back on but I haven't got around to it.

 

I would rather have no flares, ever pull off factory flares with some miles on the truck. There is all kinds of crap back there. Water and mud will get back there, and road salt.

 

Are these the TRD Pros? I like the subtle look.

I saw some flares from Spec-D on CarId, but you couldn’t tell much from the photos. Anyone have/seen those?

. . . and one more thing, especially where that picture was taken. DON'T DRILL THE SHEET METAL ON YOUR BRAND NEW TRUCK!!!

I'm not a fan of the bolts on the exterior of the Bushwacker's. Anyone ever installed TRD Pro or TRD Off Road flares on a Sport? I like the black flares without bolts.

 

They look ok, but you hate them. Can you elaborate? About to put mine on a 2nd gen.

Mine have been on 3 months without any issues. You can get the flares at a reduced cost, but you're still looking at roughly $500 for OEM Off-Road flares.

 

I have these bushwackers with substituted black bolts and love them. Trd pro ones are too thin and not aggressive enough, almost like a car. Black looks good on black and mag color, but on lighter colors i would paint them.

 

I've been thinking about doing black bolts. Where did you get them? I might just paint mine, but too darn cold in the garage now.
