Default Anybody have fender flares on a Ram Sport?

I have a new 2011 Ram Sport and am looking add fender flares. When I shop online, I have the option of picking 2011/Ram/1500 but I don't think they will work on the Sport Edition. I want the OEM look. If anybody has them on their ride, would you please post a pic and tell me where you got them? I plan to paint to match (hunter green).

I don't have them, but I've paid attention to this topic for quite a while. I've seen others add them to Sport models, which can be done easily, but since the flares are created for non-Sport models with chrome bumpers the front ones don't end in the right location to match the body lines of the Sport models. Do some searches here and you'll find some threads about it. OEM flares on a Sport don't look awful, but it seems out of place to me. I believe some 3rd party vendors make flares that fit better.

Check out Bush Wacker fender flares, they have a set designed for the Sport model, which cover the entire front bumper. You can also see a video with a red sport Ram on youtube shown with this setup. Type ... Bush wacker fender flares, you should find it.

I think you would have to get wider tires for them to look right. Just my .02

Instructions show install on a sport bumper...

I don't think they look to bad width wise, I would say your safe with the OEM style sport flare. Here's the link of the Sport Ram 1500.

I gotta agree with BigBlue, I'm not a fan of the OEM flares on the Sport. The way they just start way up on the fender looks odd to me. The Bushwackers are pretty nice on the Sport, and would probably look really good painted to match the truck.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I'll look into Bushwhacker...waiting on hold with them now. Checked out the youtube video. It does show a sport. Looks like the front flare is two pieces.
