Default Who has Fender Flares

I'm thinking about getting a set of bushwacker flares, curious if anyone has a set or another brand of something similar, not looking to get wide flares just something to give it some flare - lol

I have the bushwackers on my truck painted to match. Had them for over a year now and love em. I had them put on when my rig was in the shop after getting whacked in a parking lot.

Ya those are the one I'm looking to get. they do look really good on there.

Do I have to loose the molded mud flaps up front to put them on?

Yea you do have to loose the moulded flaps unfortunatly. Unless you wanna cut and modify the flares but I had a shop install them when my truck was in after getting hit and I didn't specify so I just had to live with it. And EDinNB the all terrains were not bad in the cold stuff. They dig like a bastard in the snow and are pretty good on the ice but throw stones and stuff like nobody's business so I decided to switch to Dueler Revo's which i'm very happy with so far but it's summer so we'll see what the winter brings....

A local 4x4 accessories shop said they could get some of the Bushwackers for between $300-500 for the set. Then it would be an additional $250ish to have them painted to match. I could really use some, especially with the wider tires, a lot of mud flingin is going on, even though they only protrude maybe an inch at the most.

Looks great though, gives it a very aggressive look. I prefer the color matched ones.

What is it you don't like about them? I kinda like the look of the non painted black on the black truck. Reminds me of my Gen1 trucks.

I'd have to remove existing flares to go with these as well. Do the Bushwackers cover up the entire area exposed by the removal of the factory flares, or will I expose something needing repair?
