Has anybody bought and installed the flares you can get on eBay cheap these days?

Set of 4 for under $125 and the pocket style for $160.
I know you often get what you paid for. Would love Bushwhacker or power wagon ones, price is much higher obviously.
I have stock sized 265/70-17 on my '03 QC. Thought about "plastic dipping" them. I want to use them to cover the rust around the rear wheel well up after I treat the rust. PO had it "fixed" before, obviously not very well.

I was gonna try the Oxgord brand ones at some point. I figure if I don't like them they were less than 200 bucks. Bushwackers are nice but ******** they're expensive. You pay so much for that name its rediculous. At the end of the day they're 4 pieces of molded plastic. Now the no name eBay brand ones are usually junk and they fit like crap.

I got a pair of pocket style 2" flares off of Amazon. I had the typical rust spots repaired and they drilled drain holes to prevent it from happening again. These were from Amazon:

I bought a set on eBay after insurance paying me $460 for Buschwacker flares. I spent $180 and I swear even the hardware looks like Buschwacker, so I'm very happy with my purchase. I'll post a pic in a bit!

My buddy got his off of eBay for his 12 sport and they fit and look pretty good for being cheaper.

Looks good. Gotta do mine too. Are you guys running spacers on your wheels to make them stick out?

I have 2" spacers. They are the expensive lifetime guaranteed Bora spacers. I wouldn't go cheap on these.

My OxGord flares just showed up today. For the price I can't complain too much; as someone else said - they're just 4 pieces of molded plastic. I'm not sold on flares but for the price I figured I wouldn't be out much if I didn't like the look once I put them on.
