I know Bushwacker is probably the leader in aftermarket fender flares, but wow they are serious coin. Anybody know some other brands that are more affordable? I also plan on color matching them white.

I have prestige fender flare and will be replaceing them with bushwackers once I'm done with school
I got them becasue of the price and needed to cover the tire (PA laws)
I dont think they look exactly the same as bushwacker and I'm not all that impressed with the quality. They feel kindof flimsy to me and they dont line up all that well, one of them had a gap large enough in the wheel well that it caused a buffeting sound at highway speeds and ended up cracking for an unknown reason
I plastic welded it, re-bedlined it and filled the gap with expanding foam when I put it back on
They were pretty cheap from autoanything at the time though

Well with that said, sounds like you either get the best, or get sub-par. Its just hard to justify 350 to 400 bucks on just the flares and then go get them color matched for 200. I guess if I were to get the Bushwackers, and ever wanted to get rid of the truck, I could take them off and be able to get maybe $200 or so out of them.

on the link the prestiege are $309 after the $50 instant rebate. You can find genuine bushwacker pocket flares on ebay for $405 with free shipping all day long.

AAAAANNNDDDD I remember seeing one of the members on here is a dealer for bushwacker and is supposed to have good prices if you PM him but I can't remember his user name. Anyone know who this is?

its no suprise bushwakers are that expensive. everything made in the usa is pricey today since raw materials to make them are also expensive. either way i was also looking to get the chepepr brand to cover a little dent on my fender but i really like the look of having no fender flares with wide tires. so i may leave the dent for now. its not big enuff for me to do something imediatly. i think i saw the best price on amazon for them

do you have wheels that stick out far. Bushwackers extend something like 2.5" A wheel that doesn't stick out much will looked tucked in with bushwackers
