I need to know

topo4u2 · September 19, 2005

Hello, Im thinking of purchasing fender flares in the new future but not sure if they are going to work for me. I was counting on all you people to give me an answer to that and determine if they are worth the cost of almost 600 bucks. Or better to leave the truck 2 tone or paint the bottom black and make the truck all one color.

Thanks for your opinions. It will help in my decision.

I love the fender flares on my truck.

But I sure as heck wouldn't pay $600 to add them if my truck didn't have them. Your truck looks sharp. I would leave it as is and save your money.

I've got a Summit White Z71 with white flares on it and lemme tell you it really sets it off. I had a Victory Red with Pewter two tone a while back that had no flares and I wanted them so badly the whole time I had the truck. I got my white flares for $40, plus about $30 to have them painted. You can get a set for waaay under retail, you just have to do your shopping.

White truck, black flares. Bought them off someone from this board for $100. Definately shop around, eBay my friend.

Two tone and fender flares look awesome in my opinion.

I agree.... my factory flares on my '05 are the same color as the rest of the body and it bugs me, but not enough for me to go stupid over it...

However, $600 for flares? No way. Go to eBay and get some of the factory rejects or takeoffs. Just do a search and you'll find four of them for under $200.00. Sand them down and paint them with the color you want. Ask the auto parts dealer exactly what you need, usually, if you can get past the minimum wage clerk, you'll get the correct directions, primer, and paint. This is so easy to do and you'll save a lot of $$$$.

Thanks for the advice so far.....looks like getting some flares will be the winner. If anyone sees any good deals on a set via ebay or whatever before I do please PM me or email.

Thanks.
