Its my birthday tomorrow and am going to buy my one and only some new clothes. Really torn on what brand to get and what specific set. I know theres a dozen threads but i thought id make a poll on it since i couldnt find one (if i missed it i apologise)
Which do you have? Which do you wish you have? As of now im leaning to Prestige RX Riveted Fender Flares pocket hole
for price and look. also, ptm daytona orange or keep black? leaning towards black Thanks!
I also had bushwhacker extend-a-fender on my old truck and Loved them.
You definitely have to paint them to match. Had mine black for a while and liked them a lot more once painted. I'll try and posts some pics later if I can find them
Im in the same boat, i have some serious paint chipping and rock gouges from driving gravel roads everyday on my back wheel wells. thought since i am buying flares anyway might as well go for nice looking pocket hole ones and dress it up a bit. there's more brands out there than i thought though, and the prices vary significantly
I would just get the bushwacker OEM style if I were you. The only reason that i'm getting the pocket style is because it matches the "RIG" theme to my truck (all bolt on)(rims, fender flares, grille, tag, emblem)
I know, i just know that with my body color painting them is going to double the price of an already pricey piece of plastic. i just need to get rid of my paint chipping
If possible I'd spend the money and paint 'em, IMO it looks much better. I tried a set of smooth Bushwackers in black on my truck at first and just didn't like the black at all, so I sold 'em and bought a set of pocket flares and had them painted to match. I've gotten far more compliments on the painted ones!
I have the bushwacker pocket style flares and really like them, was unsure when I bought them how they would look but they look freakin sweet!! Plus the colour inst a true matte, the or more of a light semi gloss
-Upstater i dont mind the black smooth flares with your wheels you had on!
Assault nice looking truck!
I decided i have my heart set on pocket hole ones, i may order them and put them up against my truck black, and if i dont like the look take them and get them painted orange.
any suggestions on where to buy from for the best buck?
I installed a set of OEM 3500 Laramie flares on my 1500 sport. Found them used for cheap and had them paint matched. I wasnt a fan of how the 1500 flares terminated on the sport bumper, and I didn't want to run the Bushwacker pocket flares since they would stick out too far for my wheel offset.

Need advice: where's a reasonable place to order bushwacker pocket flares, and is there anywhere that will paint them before shipping them? I want to eliminate the step of having to take them somewhere after I get um. -Thanks
I have been on the fence myself trying to decide which direction to go with so many choices.
My truck is bright silver and I found a set of new take off 2500 Laramie flares online so I went for it.
The plus is they are factory painted to match my truck already so all I should need to do is put on some fresh 3m tape.
Thanks everyone for posting pictures.....they always help.
I won't be installing these until spring but I will post some shots at that time.
