Default Bolt style Fender Flares Available!

So found these on EBAY. Don't really think they fit, but it says they do.
Dakota EGR Fender Flare.

The ad shows them fitting ALOT of different models, Ram 1500, 2500, older Dakotas

Quick search shows Amazon as saying:
Fit For - Dodge Ram 1500, Dodge Ram 2500 Hd, Dodge Ram 3500 Hd- Single Rear Wheel Only.
also afew other sites list the same models, But no Dakota. So I say we still only have the 2 options, Bushwhacker (4dr only) or OEM

The bolts need to have a nice deep pocket to look good, and those fail.

And yeah, even the EGR website says that these do not fit any Dakota.

since we don't have a natural flair on the fender, I don't think these will look right anyway.

wish i could find the bushwhacker flares for the club cab but it seams to be impossible. I'll probably be going down the OEM route in the near future.

I see multiple benefits on having these, well the bushwacker or OEM ones which have over 2" clearance.
1) Due to my offset on my wheels, my tires always fling up debris/water onto the truck during normal use.
2)looks nice as mentioned above
3)Some states have laws on how much your tires can protrude pass the fenders.

Because there are practically no appearance mods available, so anything out there will do!!

Plus, they do have some practical purposes, as stated.
