Another set of EGR OE style. $232 from autotruckaccessories.com. Piece of cake to install, no paint on mine and I love'em.

Bushwacker x-tended flares unpainted on a leveled only truck. Thought about painting them white to match, but I like the look of the black on the truck instead. 2.5 leveling kit on the truck btw.

my truck on the last page is leveled only. extend-a-flairs and pockets have the same amout of coverage.

Do you have any more pictures, showing the entire side? How about a shot viewing down the side that shows how much they stick out? I know, asking a lot, but if you have 'em I'd love to see 'em. I'd also be very interested in seeing how the flares wrap around at the rear front, at the very end of the flare - I've had rubbing probs. I assume you're happy with the pocket flare look on your truck, had you considered extend-a-flares?

Sorry, that's a lot of questions, but one more... you're user name... comes from? Just wondering cuz my car is a 2000 Trans Am.

here is what i have for pics on this computer.


they stick out about two inches. i will try and get more pics. for the first few months they never rubbed but they do now. i havent figured out why yet... i am very happy with them. i originally was going to get extend-a-flairs thinking they were smaller but decided on these when i found out they were the same.

the name was for the firebird i used to own. i miss her sometimes but now i have a front engine porsche.

Mine are stock lariat flares I had repainted to match my truck. Install was just unclip the OEM fx4 flares and clip the lariat ones in place.

Definitely need 35s for them to look good. I have them w/ 33s and it doesn't look so good. I couldn't find anything else that offered 2" of coverage, though, so I had no choice.

www.streetsideauto.com 350 bucks shipped. Nobody is going to touch that for the pocket flares. I just got my Fender Extender flares for like 300 bucks shipped and NOBODY was willing to even match the price, including the places that guarantee to price match you just have to use the coupon codes on the website, they are clearly visible.
