Pictures of Fender Flares

I finally got my fender flares painted and had some new bed braces installed Friday. Not only do I think they look great and add much needed curves to the truck, they also worked great covering my bad rear fender rust. Check it out for yourself.

Flares look the tit, love them rims too!

I was thinking of doing the same thing, adding flares to my red one to cover the rust around the edges. Hesitant though as the flares will tend to hold more moisture/salt in that area and probably just make it worse faster. On the other hand, probably only get two maybe three more years plowing out of it anyway.

Are those model specific type flares or the bulk roll cut to fit/self stick kinda deal?

Yours always been one of my favorites around here, all blacked out like that. "hard to beat" look for a truck!

Thank you! They are bushwacker street flares. Real nice and low profile nothing too exotic. They are a direct fit for all the f-series and broncos.

Not only do the flares look sweet but the blackout look is VERY nice. Was the bumper originally chrome (and if so, how did you paint it?).

Very nice.

Thanks man! Nope, that bumper was a a plain black one I bought off eBay for like $100 bucks shipped from PershingAutoBody parts, then I had it powder coated for another $75 bucks. However, if it was chrome, the powder coating will go over it. For example, on my tailgate, I use to have the chrome panneling, but had that powder coated. It hasnt chipped at all.

That fits nicely for fender flares. I don't think I have seen any that looked better on our body style.

The truck still looks awesome man!

Yeah, they do a good job of covering rust, yet dont stick out 3" past the body
