    I would like an inexpensive option to OEM flares. The fender flares on my truck have taken a beating driving around in the woods. I would like to replace the OEM (painted flares) with some sort of aftermarket flare with a mate black finish or slightly textured finish. Not a fan of the pocket flare that Bushwacker is offering. Especially the chrome bolt heads. Hope this comes to fruition.

    I'd say a small flare 3" i think should be good. Something for the mid travel guys and something thats compatible with the All Pro LT kit this way they don't have to take theirs off which looks bad IMO.

    the bushwacker ones.

    get on them about a group buy, they might drop the price, it would still be
    at least 350, by the time you paid for freight though.

    Just like this for Gen. 2 Tacomas. Perhaps with a flat black or textured finish.

    I would like to see flare about the size of the larger "Cut Out" Style Bushwackers. The artic truck flares looks nice but they are a bit too large.

    The "Pocket style" flares that BushWacker currently makes for our trucks aren't much better than the stock flares, as far as coverage.
