fender flares

I'm looking at the Bushwacker fender flares for my white F150....
I have the stock 17" tires.
anyone have other suggestions?
How do they look with the flat/matte black if i decide not to paint?
if anyone has pics, it's appreciated.

Bushwackers are nice, I have a set on my truck. I haven't looked at unpainted ones in a while, but it should be similar to warn's when unfinished. I don't care for it, it looks like it would collect crap in the fine pores.

EGR and Warn both make nice flares.

The white/black combination will look good, and if you don't like it you can always get them painted later. The only thing is that the flares may make the stock tires/wheels look too small.

I checked out the EGR's, i like those.
trying to find a pair that won't get dirt in the fine pores if i decide not to paint...but the companies i've contacted are all clueless

wonder how stupid these look on a stock truck with 17s

I'm trying to find out how far up the fender they go, not how much tire coverage i get. Bushwacker said "maybe 2-3 inches" but they aren't sure.

I need about 1/2" more than the OEM's cover....

Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender's Part number 20913-02
