Fender flares

has anyone tried these?

 

I don't have personal experience but I have seen a few trucks around town with these, or at least very similar. They don't stick out as far as the Bushwackers style, but I think for the common 20 to 25 offset wheels or using 1.25" spacers that make the wheels only barely stick out beyond the fenders, these would be great.
Other than that not much function to it; just for looks.

 

seem more aesthetic than function

 

My truck has 2 little dents on the bottom of fenders (where one of the body lines is). And these would would it. I just wanted to know if anyone has tried them and has had any issue with warping or anything like that

 

did you ever end up trying these? I’m interested in them as well

 

Nope. I wanted too but never got around to it haha. Let me know if you get them

 

I've got a duplicate thread going. Im also interested but want to make sure the quality and install is good.

 

I think on eBay they are around $100 bucks

 

I have prime so I get them free and sooner.

 

Well I got the flares and tried to install. Everything looked good but the hardware for the fronts wasn't correct. I made a trip to tractor supplied and got them installed. Installed the rear and not so good. There was a big gap in the top so I'm sending them back. I tried to position them differently but couldn't prevent the gap. Got a surprise from Amazon in that they charge $15 to return them. Don't waste your time. I had two hours into these that I'm not getting back.

 

Any pics of the gap? Maybe some force could help shape it?

 

The bushwhackers come with a rubber gasket maybe you could use something similar.

 

No pics. If I modified the part in any way they wouldn't take it back. I thought about drilling a new hole and pulling it tighter but if it failed to correct the problem I would be out $120. My belief is that the rear flare just wasn't formed correctly.

 

These had a rubber gasket as well.

 

.....if it's too good to be true.....

 

Don't kick me in the balls while I'm down.

 

Yeah, sucks for sure. I use Amazon a lot and have had to return items occasionally. I've never been charged to return a defective item, especially if it was missing hardware. That's the seller's problem.

 

Sorry you had a bad experience. With Prime, if you say anything but the item is defective now they charge.

Somehow, everything I have gotten since that change has been defective. Huh.

 

That explains why I got charged. I think I marked that I could install and in the comments stated it had missing hardware and wouldn't fit properly.

 

Thanks for the review and being the tester

 

Are you going to try another set? Maybe you got one bad flare and another set might be ok...??

 

Nope, not going through that again. Both rear ones had a large gaps so I doubt a replacement would be any better. Also if you have factory mud flaps your not going to be able to install them. Another disappointment that was never mentioned by the seller.

 

I bought Stampeders for my 07. Stampeders are owned by Bushwacker. Check them out...$250ish.....

 

Be careful with the IKON brand. The rubber gasket is not only a pain to install because there is no adhesive, which also means it comes off easily with wind and caused my paint to scratch. These are the ones I am referring to:
