Fender flares, any have pics?

Since I put on different wheels and tires, they sit out a little bit wider than stock. I don't know if that's contributing to my paint chipping off around my wheels wells, or if it's all the salt and de-icer we get around here, or both. But I've been thinking about putting a "modest" set of fender flares on. I'd fix up where the paint is chipping and peeling off to keep it from getting worse. But thought fender flares would add something else to the look of my truck.
What do you have that you like? and do you have pics? So far the ones I've seen online seem too big for me.

I know Scott (Texas Outlaw) has got some on his truck. They look good in my opinion.

I like mine, been on there for a couple of years and still look good.

Edit: They are Bushwacker OE's

Here's mine, they are Bushwacker Pocket Flares. The tires are 315/75 R16 Toyos. I put them on after noticing that I was tearing the right rear quarter panel up from gravel and stuff.

Thanks, Shade. I appreciate the compliment. The bumpers aren't Ranch Hands, they are from Tough Country, a company here in Texas. They are quite heavy but they're built to last. I love 'em!

I like the Pocket Style from Buschwacker also. Like Scott, I was tearring up my front fenders. This is not the best picture of my truck, but a good one for seeing how the flares cover the 37-13.50 tires. Yeah, I fail for forgetting my plow was in...........

These flares were on my truck when I bought it but I like how subtle they are and how well they flow with the body. They are by Xenon.

Here's Bushwacker's home link.

I'm not sure where I got them, just search and find the least expensive.

Those are what I like, can barely tell they are there. I've got a black truck as well, so that's a great visual aid for me. Thanks! Where did you get them?
How do they attach, sticky tape? Do the wrap to the inside of the wheel well to cover it and protect it from rocks?

I do like the pocket style, but I think they look best on a lifted truck, and mine isn't. Plus, the wife keeps saying those are the ones she doesn't like.



Thanks for all the help guys, ya'll have some great looking trucks!!
