Fender Flares
Hey Guys,
I have an 06 FX4 with those crappy fender flares that discolor. Did the Lariats in the same year have painted ones, and if they did, am I correct that they should just bolt on to the FX4? I wanted to go with the painted ones, but don't really know which route I should take, as far as OEM or aftermarket. The dealership said they would probably replace the original ones, but after it goes out of warranty, I will be on my own. Thanks in advance.

Scott,
I really disliked the look of the textured gray fender flares on my '06 FX4 so I found a set of take-offs on ebay for just over $100. The ones I bought were in perfect shape and already matched my truck (black) so all I had to do was bolt them on. They are bolted on the ends and use the black plastic push pins throughout the middle. I recommend getting new push pins because they'll either break or be really deformed trying to get them out in one piece.
