fender flares
I'm curious if anyone has pics of their fender flares and any opinions on them regarding installation, fit and finish, durability, etc. If so, what's the URL?
I purchased my '01 F250 4x4 V10 last month and I'm enjoying it something fierce. I've been reading this board now for a little while now and I think this is a great forum with lots of valuable input. Thanks in advance.

Well, I'll add what my limitied research has uncovered. There appears to be several manufacturers of fender flares for the SuperDuty.
Bushwacker

Sportwing
http://www.sportwing.com/accessories/flares.asp
EGR
http://www.egr.com.au/EGR_Inc/default.asp
Xenon (lifetime warranty)

Okay, so now I'm suffering from information overload. Hopefully, there's folks out there who've had some experience installing them, using them on the trail... that kind of thing. If I believe everything the websites say, they're all the best.
Anyone?

I have the EGR flares on my 99 crew cab. They were easy to install as there was no drilling required which is why I bought them. I lost a couple of clips when I used a power washer to wash the truck after some 4 wheeling. I was able to get a new package of hardware but I'm more careful how I spray the wheel wells now. I was impressed with the fit but crud still gets behind them. Because of the design I can pop them off when I want to clean out the buildup.

fender flares
When I ordered my truck, I ordered fender flares from the Ford catalog that my dealer had! I think fender flares look great. I am however, having to take it back to the dealer because the paint is flaking off the left rear fender flare. And since it is still under warantee, they will do it at no cost to me. They have been on for about a year. My truck is Deep Wedgewood blue and Harvest Gold Metallic. (2000 truck.)
