fender flares

Just wondering if anybody has some pics or input on what looks the best. I'm lookin to get some, but don't really want the cut in.. lookin for the tape to the body screw the inner fender, warn has some decent ones, just curious about who's got them and what you think.
Thanks

I have Xenon flares. Look at the link below my signature line and there should be some pics you can look at.

I'll try to get some pics of my new wheels tonight so you can see the flares. They are the same, or at least very similar, to whack&stack's flares.

I have a couple pics in my gallery of the bushwacker cutouts. They also offer an extended (read:not cutout) flare. It's just not as large.

I have the Xenon flares also and have them painted to match my truck and they look real nice.

thanks for that Blake. you kept me from having to find my own thread. the ones i put on were the bushwhacker extend-a-flares (1.75" of coverage i believe) but not the cut outs.

Looking at your pics, do you think that the oxidation of the fenders was because the "old" running boards and white flares?.

Yes, the factory flares caught a lot of road grim and dirt and salt causing it to eat the paint and metal faster. My truck came from Iowa so it was in the salt a lot.

Sweet looking truck - Mine is a 250 supercab in white - Thinking of replacing body panels in pairs and Line-x one piece at a time - With those flares -
Is that an N-Fap Nerf/Step bar?

Thanks for the compliment. Yes those are the N-Fab steps. I do like the look of them and they were easy to installl, but, they mount very close to the bottom of the cab allowing the "bed step" portion to make contact with the front corner of the bed when it flexes. I have not worked them over yet and I am sure I can shim them down by making some drop brackets for the "rib" mounts. When I replace my cab mounts there will be even less clearance between the bed and step bar.

I see a lot on your truck that I would like on mine, it'll just take some time. hood deflector, window shades, steps, wheels, flares, cab markers, lights, etc. My truck isn't beat to hell but it wouldn't hurt it to have some improvements..
