Bushwacker Pocket Style

[lsuguy]

I was curious about the Bushwacker Pocket Style fender flares for my 09 Sierra CC. I know AllBlkdOut07 has some on his and they look sweet but I was wondering if anyone had them on their Sierra I could see since the Sierra and Silvy have slightly diff body styles. I was also curious about some reviews or what yall may have heard about these. I think they look amazing.

 

Oh and to get them color matched to carbon metallic, how close could I get them to OEM color?

Supposedly this guy has 'em, but they don't look like mine at all. If you look at the bolts, they look different, mine are recessed, these look like another brand, unless they do them this way for the Sierra? Have no idea...but at least you can see how a pocket flare will look on a sierra even though this one is an HD. I say they look better than my Silverado because they cover the entire fender flare, so there's no double bubble.

Those do look different. I'd rather the recessed bolts but I guess that does give me an idea about how they would look. I think I remember reading but did you post that they are wearing away your paint under the flares??

Yup, cause dirt get's in there even though they have rubber around the edge of the plastic and any slight movement scratches the paint. I would try adding that 3M protectant film, or in my case I plan on LineX'ing that area now.

Straight off their website. I think they look good.

 

[AllBlkdOut07]

Not sure if I like the bolts more flush like that or recessed like mine.

 

They're around $500 for the set.

[KMGZ400]

damn 500 for the set? thats a little expensive for a piece of plastic.

 

i think the recessed bolts look way better.

I'd pay 500 for them.. maybe.. I'd look for some on ebay or used or something first. And I agree the recessed bolts do look alot better.

aren't you ordering a lift or something? get a quote for the flares from the same place and have them make you a deal. That's going to be a big ticket sale... may be able to get a killer price if the salesman thinks the sale of the lift is depending on the total combined price of lift+flares. NEVER order a big ticket item off a web page.... call up and talk to a sales rep. Always make it sound like you're "thinking" about getting the kit and/or just looking for info, they'll usually say "hey we have a special if you order tonight".

I didn't think of that. But it's too late now. I already got my lift and level from UPS today. The fender flares would be something I do down the line but was just curious about getting some feedback on them.

But I will be calling some places about wheels and tires and getting quotes soon.

What lift you get?

I started small with the RC level and Zone 3' BL. Eventually I think I'll add on the Rancho but that's a good while away from now.

Oh ok, cool. Fab up some steel gap guards.
