Default fender flares

Does anyone know of a website that has good deals on fender flares. I have been looking all over and everyone has a differant price. I would just like to know that I am at least getting the best deal. Does anyone have any preferances between the differant makes.

Default RE: fender flares

Been through this myself last February when I got my truck from VA and found out it wouldn't pass here in WV with the 1" of tire exposed. I decided to F*** it, change out the tires for the inspection then swap 'em back. You're right, prices are all over the place as well as looks and quality. Question: Do you NEED them or just like the look? Some look better than others but there is always the rot they can cause on your fenders................

I,m pretty much putting them on for the look. I fixed some rust on the rear fenders already, and I didn,t want to pay to have painted exactly. The truck has 195,000 on it and that was the onlyarea with rust. just trying to keep looking as good as possible, as cheap as possible. I also think fender flares look good anyway, but I'm starting to think it would be cheaper to paint.

If I get into any propblems with the law down the line I'll more than likely go with Xenon flares. Was only leaning towards them up until last week when I saw a Ram while I was Ohio that was running a set. They really do look more like they belong on the truck than others, plus have a tighter fight at the seam, but some people like the "look at my flares" appearance (eg:Bushwhacker, others). Gonna cost you though, especially if you want to paint them to match. Personally, I'd fix the rust right and repaint.

Hey shott, I looked at your gallery. My tires stick out as much, if not more, than yours and my paint hasn't suffered. I have molded flaps on the rear but nothing up front. I AM going to get another set of molded flaps, cut 'em down a bit and install them up front only to keep crap off my nerf bars.
