WTB: 09-12 TRX/Laramie Fender Flares

[srqFF]

Looking for a set of Mineral Grey 09-12 Ram TRX/Laramie smooth painted fender flares.

Let me know!

How much are you looking to spend?

I have a set currently on my truck... They don't work real well with the bumper I built myself so I am looking to swap to a set that is shorter at the headlight.

They are painted mineral gray, and all four are in excellent condition. I would post up pics but I am in Australia, and won't be back to my truck (in NY) until the end of August. If you are willing to wait that long, I would be happy to send you some photos, and maybe we can work something out.

Sounds good to me. I actually need mineral grey so that works out.
Let me know a price and we will go from there.

I was thinking $450 because I know they are at least $130 a piece in black, and the painting costs a fair bit, unless you do it yourself I suppose.

Mine are all professionally painted.

I found an OEM set for $300. That's more than I was looking to spend.
I was thinking somewhere around $150-200 for a set, and if painted then up to $250ish.

Maybe we can work something out when we get closer to the time you're back.

Mmm, I wasn't able to find anything that cheap...

However, I just spotted this on ebay, and it sounds like an excellent way to go in terms of price and everything.

OP, you won't get a painted set for $250 I can assure you. Just for reference, I paid $350 for my 2500 flares. They were brand new taken off a truck and were professionally painted. I thought $350 was a steal. Everything else out there runs $250 and up then figure in paint costs and you're looking at $400+ depending on brand and style.

Expect paint cost alone to be worth $150-$200.

Would you go $300 for your flares jlb?

I've read that the trx/Laramie flares come painted Mineral grey from the factory. Do you know of that is true? If so that would save me a bit of money.

 

[jlb]

I can assure you (not because I want you to buy mine lol) that as of 5 months ago they did not come painted from the factory. They come black, paint to match. I think $400 is about as low as I would go because I think shipping these things will be awkward too...

I suggest you look at that Ebay link I posted above, that deal included painting as well. Unless you want to pony up $400 lol.

 

[Musclemckeester]

They come plain black as far as I'm aware.

 

[quietpeen]

I think you can get the 1500 laramie/outdoorsman/trx ones painted, and only black for the 2500/power wagon /outdoorsman flares

I'm iffy about that "texture". I guess I just need to see it.

I nabbed my flares on eBay....for $110. paid my painter - well, I got a nice deal on that. D:

 

[jlb]

$110 for a set of 4? Give me your hookup lol!!

 

[0212353]

eBay..........just found 'em one night and jumped like a ****. LOL

and that was SHIPPED.

 

[jlb]

DAMN, I just want into a new set cuz I pulled that plastic piece under the headlights, and grill for my bumper, and so the flare just kind of hangs out there...

OP you do $300 plus shipping and you can have mine... lol, but I can't blame you at all if you want to take one of the other options that everyone posted up here.

I just replaced the flares on my 2012 PW. They're the black textured ones,but can easily be sanded down/painted.
Stupid guy at the detail shop hit the rear flares with a buffer,so they would need to be painted anyway,I just decided to put pocket flares on the truck.

If you want them,I'll take $75 plus shipping for them.

They're not damaged,but if you ever hit them with a buffer,there will always be light colored spots that show.The only way to fix this is to have them painted,and I just figured if I had to take them off the truck,I'd just buy the ones that I wanted in the first place.

You can see the light spots in the pic where the buffer hit the flare,both the rear flares have these light spots,but if painted,you will never know it was there.


Here's the front flare

^^those are the stock 2500 flares?

Can u do me a favor and take an up close shot of the texture?
