$60 Enay pocket fender flare review

[2010 Infantry Vet]

*Edit* meant to say EBAY.

Figured I would pull the trigger on a $60 set of pocket style fender flares off eBay. I have no complaints whatsoever. I chose smooth since I will be getting them painted. Overall, they are quality flares, and include all the gaskets and stainless bolts. I highly recommend them.

Are there plugs for the holes in the side of the truck or do you actually have to install them using those holes? I see there are holes inside the flares too, so hopefully they mount that way. They look pretty good for being $60.

They mount with the bolts that hold in the inner wheel well cover. The holes are just for looks. Even expensive flares mount the same way.

Post follow up pics when they are installed, I would like to see how well they fit against the body.

Will do. The shape is identical to my last set I paid $150 for. So they should fit the same.

Got my $60 EBay flares back from paint today. Shop charged me $200 to paint them. I asked if he had any issues since they were so low in price, and he said he didn’t notice any difference in quality vs Bushwacker. Can’t beat color matched pocket flares for $260. Painted.
Haven’t installed yet since my truck is still in PA, and being shipped down here to North Carolina.
Highly recommend these flares for the price.

No joke on your savings. I browsed ebay, saw some painted flares for $600 plus.....geez.

yeah absolutely no reason to spend that much for painted flares.

Were the flares textured or smooth? They look textured, but usually I have seen smooth ones advertised if they are going to be painted. I think I might get some and do a DIY paint job.

Thats a good price on paint. The shops around here quote around 800 taxes in to paint a set so it's cheaper to buy the painted, but if I had a black truck I'd spend the 60 and just leave them as is since they're black. For what you spent though I'd have had them painted too.

I got the smooth flares. The pic makes them look textured but they are smooth.

that seems high to me to paint a set of flares. I had my old factory rear bumper painted by a different painter in a different state, and he only charged me $250.
I had a set of unpainted pocket flares on my black truck before, and always wanted to get them painted. So I just bought a new set since they were so cheap. Where do you live that the price for paint is so high?

I'm in canada. Everything seems to be twice the price or more for smaller things. That's why most of the stuff I buy comes from the USA. way cheaper even with the big dollar difference right now. Not sure why. Covid means I can't just pop across the line for stuff like I used to though so I have to be more patient and I can't take stuff over to get worked on.

You said it! Not going across the line for parts is holding up a lot of work to the truck. Saving my bank account though.

As for flares, I got some ebay ones from a guy locally. About to paint. Mounted nicely, so can't complain
