Fender Flare Help

Im looking to get fender flares to cover up the rust that decided to appear once i put my bed back on. I dont want anything that will extend out.

Basically if i could find something that would literally just cover the rust i would be ok. wide flares = me wanting bigger tires

i was looking at Bushwacker OEM's just wondering if anyone knows a budget friendly set that are decent looking. Money is tight right now but i still want the rig to look decent.

I know Ron (LUNY1) had a set of the chrome type that go out about 3/4", he just had them freshly powder coated in black. Maybe he could chime in and let you know the brand, heck, I think he was wanting to go with something different and maybe make you a deal on his?

Yep-the chrome was a bit too "ghetto" for my taste so I had them powder coated. Now The black looks like a set of eye brows on my white truck.

I just did a trade for a set of oem flares that I'll paint to match my truck.

Philip-I don't know the brand but I'll try to send you some pics.

One thing you need to watch is that moisture stays behind the flares and your fenders will rust.

I need a set for my dually but seem to be coming up empty handed, they all say not for DRW and there is no listing for a DRW either.

i personally think they only make for front wheels on a dually. i have never seen fender flares on the rear of a dually no matter what brand. and for the fronts u can order them without the rears

I have bushwacker extend-a-flares....if you guys want pics let me know, they stick out pretty dang far though, sometimes i wish i got the smaller ones, and yes they do trap moisture inside them, so i drilled the bottoms out to help with that a little bit, and also painted underneath them with some roll-on bedliner
