Huh, so that's what my truck is supposed to look like.
Truck looks great ARW. I hope to have both my 7.3 and 91 repainted soon. Years as farm and work trucks has taken its toll on the paint of both of them.

They're made by Bushwacker and called the "Ford Extend-A-Fender Flare." Ford Extend-A-Fender Flare - Set of 4 - OE Matte Black | 20928-02 | Bushwacker
Thank you. I like that your flares match the factory body line creases that follow the wheel wells, and almost look as if they are the Ford factory wheel flares for the F-450/550 from 2005-2007. I also like that they do not have those dimples for the hardware... there is a term for those types of flares... "pocket"? Anyway, those other types of flares are getting like "Affliction" shirts... or "Member's Only" jackets... everybody had to have em at one point in time, and you know what happens when everybody has something.
You've got something unique going on there. I'm sure you are proud of it.
Hey, on that paint job, they say 95% of the work is prep. Did you (or the shop) pull the weatherstrips, the plastic cowl, the back window (since it is gasket set) unbolt the fenders and hood and hang em on hooks etc? Or was it a mask and spray with everything in place? Or something in between?
Did you mount rollers for the paint job (rollers being unwanted steel wheels and tires that you don't care about overspray on) or did they mask your fancy wheels off too?

Good questions. The body shop did all the prep work and fixed the imperfections. They did remove the weatherstripping, hood, and cowl as you mentioned. They did not remove the fenders and I don't believe they removed the rear window. They masked off the wheels.
