Anyone running Putco Fender Trim

[pcruis1]

I've lifted my truck (2014 silverado) and added some larger tires. I've been debating for quite a while now on fender flares. Is anyone running the Putco Fender Trim? If so, do you like it? Here's a link: http://www.autotrucktoys.com/chevy_silverado/Putco-Chevy-Silverado-Black-Platinum-Fender-Trim-PRD39365.aspx

Edges of wheel wells are getting chipped badly so I bought the Putco stainless steel fender trim.

Install easy,fit pretty good except one had to be manipulated a bit.

They look good and will protect the edges .

Overall pretty good product for the price.

i bought the black stainless , either they sent me the wrong ones or they are not designed right. i could not get the front one to sit tight against the truck, 200 bucks of s&&t.

I just ordered a set off amazon for $116, If they fit good I am hoping to sand them and apply a textured bed coating finish to match my go rhino rb10 steps.

Are you guys concerned about water and dirt getting under that trim and rusting out the well lining? How is it holding up so far? I have bought the stainless steel trim but not installed it after I examined the design and noted that it is hollow under the trim and just a moisture and gunk trap.

If the paint is already chipped, then you probably will have rust issues, but if it's not, then you probably won't.  For example, my truck came with the plastic flares from GM, and when I took them off to replace the fender, there was no sign of rust underneath them, just runs in the paint.  There was some rust in other spots, like where the battery box is.  Same with the fender I replaced it with, from an '01 Sierra (also had the same fender flare).

 

If you do have paint chips, you might want to at least scuff them and then put a couple of coats of clear over them before putting the trim on (just scuffing/clearing where the trim will cover what you've done)...

I find that the fit could have been a little better but I think anything is better than leaving the edge exposed to rocks.
