Question Fender Flares

I have a 2007 FX4 Flareside and of course it seems nobody makes Bushwhacker Type flares (Cut out type With the fake bolts) for these trucks. Am I missing one or does anyone know if a current maker will make the in the future? Thanks.

I tried for about 4 months to find some with no success. I engaged with bushwacker and they were unable to give me an answer if they will ever make them for a flareside. I purchased the normal ones from bushwacker and had them tailored to fit my truck by a body shop. As opposed to cutting them down to fit, I had them put more plastic in to make them fit. Turned out very well. Was expensive though.

Thumbs up Flares

Yours look sweet! I can't believe how good it looks. I can't afford to do that though. I know that had to be a lot of bucks!

There's a guy on f150online who has Bushwackers on a flareside.He said they fit with minor trimming. http://www.f150online.com/forums/3154620-post22.html

I talked to Jason about his mod prior to having mine done. I actually took pictures of his truck to the body shop. What he did was trim them down to fit. Said it took him about 12 or so hours. The front ones fit perfect, you just have to decide what to do with the back. Either trim or add material, either way works. My tires stick out too far, so I had to do something.
