Default Which brand of Fender Flare?

After a recent poll allowing the members of DF to pick my next mod, looks like the flares won, so im researching which ones to get. Isnt it great... spending someone else's money


I'll be gettin some pocket style (w/rivet) smooth flares. The 3 options are Bushwacker, Prestige, and Stampede.

Bushwacker and Prestige look to be equal in quality, and hard to beat at that, but I dont know -- I've never owned a set. They're also around $400/set which is way more than I'd hoped to pay

Stampede is a brand i'd never heard of before, but they're sold by stores on ebay for $300/set. They look just like the Bushwacker and Prestige, and also have a lifetime warranty, only $100 less.


I'm obviously concerned about price (who isnt?), but i really care about quality too. I want something that is going to fit very well, and not warp in hot/cold changes. I want something durable, that wont break if it gets bumped, and will last for several years.

Your thoughts please.

haha to be honest, if im buying new i really like them. the lifetime warranty helps sway my insecurities about quality as well. then again, no one likes to spend $300 to be a guinea pig

All good feedback. Thanks all. I know prestige and BW make AWESOME stuff. I've never heard a bad thing about them. The Stampede ones have me curious though. they offer a lifetime warranty, and they look identical to prestige and bushwacker, only $100 cheaper.
