Fender Flares part#?
so I got a tiny scratch on my truck this past weekend and its right on the fender. therefore in order to hide it perfectly I'd like to get the factory fender flares. my truck does not have the factory flares, and was wondering what the part # from ford was on those. (cant seem to find a part# directory) I would like to get the oxford white ones to match, but would also settle for the black ones that I have seen on some FX4's
or anybody have em and want to get rid of them?

i would advise to go with bushwacker fender flares since they use 3m tape to install, over having to drill countless holes in the bodys side to use oem one ( im sure someone can find a pic of what im talking about to show him the factor drilled holes )
also you can getem paint to match or leave them black

If you look in the thread below you can see what silver is talking about when he says you would have to drill a bunch of holes.

yup thos holes.. they will be very hard to get them all drilled in the right spot and if you missed your SOL ...thats why so many choose bushwacker
also if you choose to drill the holes make sure you use a primer around the edges of the holes to stop any rust from starting

thanks guys yeah after knowing that about the OEM ones, i am definitely not going that route. although after looking at the bushwackers, at $450 it seems like for that price ( or less) i could get someone to do some paint work on it.....
unless anyone knows of a cheaper source for bushwackers?

well they are pricey, the best you might ever get the for 425 but it will add a new look to your truck
