I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to ask...

 

@A.J. Curtis I made an account just to ask you, did you install the putco flares?  Not sure if this is what you ordered, but the link was broken. I was looking at these:

I wanted something that looked close to the GMC style, but I liked the idea of not having a black plastic flare that was smaller and not excessive. I've got a blue '15. 

Feel free to message me back directly or post up some pics if you did!

I did install them and had them on for a few months. I really liked them but a lot of the black on the truck was flat so I took them off.  I still have them and have been thinking about plasti diping them or getting them LineX'd. The install on the rears are easy but you have to use self tapping screws on the front flares.

Hum. Thanks for the input! The install guide mentioned that it was possible to not use screws at all, which was a plus for me. But, I obviously have no experience there. You make a good point about the different matte/gloss black, I was thinking about that and I'm still trying to decide between these or the Bushwacker OE style ones (either body painted or matte black). How far did these end up sticking out?

 

Thanks!

FYI - This is my Graphite metallic truck with the putco's...

Just to add more Info. I have the GM flares.

Jax, more pics please. Are they smooth enough to take body colored paint? Or are they textured? How expensive were they? What about mudflaps with them?

[Darksky]

SASK RT same thing for you, man re pics please, if you can show just how wide they are when installed and how they integrate with your mudflaps, that would be great. Which mudflaps are those?

They are slightly textured but a little but of filler primer should be enough to build a base for paint. They are advertised as paintable. The Part number is: 84007564. If you go to GMpartsdirect.com its under accessories > exterior > appearance. They are $273. can be found elsewhere as well. As for the mud flaps, any drilled flap should be used. I think the GM flaps can be adapted with minimal mods but don't hold me to that. If you want full resolution pics, PM me.

Wow! Both sets are beautiful. I will search and see if they are both available for my 15.
