Just wondering how different styles look on the body. Anyone seen any fender flares with accent bolts that are black instead of stainless steel??

I've considered but hear they rot the fenders out?  Is that only if it's a bad install?

I believe most of them require you to screw into the fender. As you can imagine, now you've removed the paint coating (in the new hole) and introduced a place for water to get to it. I haven't done it myself but I imagine if you do screw into your fender you could always coat the bare metal after or apply some kind of sealant.

Almost all screw onto the inside of the wheel house lip and the top edge just rests against the outside of the fender which is where dirt, salt, water, etc gets in. Most also state to remove them each time you wash your vehicle to clean out the salt, dirt and crap that gets behind them.  Older truck owners put them on to hide fender rot, but ones on new trucks can accelerate fender rot because few owners take them off the clean behind them.

Installed some on my 2020 LT Trailboss. Ended up not even painting them as I planned, the black goes well with the bumper and wheels. Took me a while to find the most simple flares.

 Looks nice! Which flares are these? Also, did they require screwing into the fender to install?

Of course they were supposed to fit on precisely by using the provided clips and fasteners, but there were a few holes that did not lineup right, I ended up just drilling a few tiny holes (maybe 4 total) in the wheel lining to make sure the flares were very snug to the truck. If you leave one un-fastened the flare does not look right. I had to remove the small plastic factory mud flaps that were installed. It was definitely more challenging than the installation instructions, but not too bad. Probably took 3 hours total. actually found them on Amazon:

I have install the AIRDESIGN fender flares on my 2019 Trailboss. They use a design that sticks the mounting nuts to the fender. Way stronger than normal 3m kinds. I dont have pictures, but their web site is great. Recommend them so far.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
