Wheel well molding or "flares" for F-150

Has anyone added these on to their F150? I think they come with the FX4 or the King Ranch but I was wondering if anyone has "added" these on and if so, where did you get them and how tough of a job was it?

Thanks.

I installed Lariet flares on my XLT.I got them on ebay.They are takeoffs from a new F150, painted black from the factory.I didn't install them the factory way,that would require drilling about 10 holes on the outside of each fender.

Very nice... those are what I was looking for. How do you like them?

If you did not drill then what method did you use to adhere, if I might ask?

Thanks

I drilled the inside of the fender lips (wheel well area)and screwed them on.I didn't drill the holes on the outside of the fenders where the factory clips attatch the flares.

The grill came as part of the Roush Champions Edition pkg available in New England.The pkg. consists of Roush 20" wheels,billet style grill(chromed plastic),Roush exhaust tip and Champion Edition badges which I removed.
I wish I had some useful info to offer.Last time I was at the dealership I had the parts guy look for the part# and price and the grill isn't listed in the Ford parts.He said it was installed at Roush so he would have to call Roush for info.I looked on Roush's website and they don't show it there.Some day I'm gonna call Roush and ask about it.
I think it looks like the grill on the 07 FX2 except mine is chrome.

I'm sorry, but I decided to keep them. If you want the ones I have, go to eBay seller: superautobac They ship fast.

Thanks for the link. Are these a "glossy" black or a textured look?

The flares in that ebay link are smooth not textured, but need to be prepped and painted.

Could they be installed without painting them or would they still need painted if you just want em black? Sooner or later I may do this.

For those who just drilled the holes on the inner fender lip (or maybe it doesn't matter) can dirt and salt get in between the flare and the fender?

I did the same. I used the existing holes in the flares plus added a few more inside the lip.
