These look nice, especially painted.

Very reminiscent of the 2000-2006 gmt800 truck fender flares.

The original post here was very helpful to me. Thanks!

 

I live on a dirt road and have been having lots of trouble with rock chips since getting this truck last May. I'm disappointed in the paint quality as I've lived here for many years without trouble and had many vehicles, including two other GM trucks. The dealer and GM say chips aren't covered under warranty. 

 

Either way, I installed the oem flares recently and am happy with them. I didn't want anything that stuck out, so these do the trick. I can stop using my paint pen so much now!

Anyone ever install these on a 2014-2015 yet?
curious on the fit, i feel like it should just fit flush with the plastic top cover of the front bumper?

I have just 33,000 miles and every time i wash i find more stone chips, driving me nuts
anyone have any insight?

Those look great! I read where they attach with fasteners into existing holes and 3M double sided tape along the outside perimeter. Is there much or any gap along perimeter where they meet the paint?

The tape provides a snug fit along the paint but not so much on the plastic trim pieces at the bottom corners of the wheel wells. Seems like I had to put a couple extra screws in at the bottom corners to keep it snug.
