Anyone know where I can purchase GLOSS black fender flares for a 2013:Ram Sport 1500? Everywhere I'm looking it's the matte finish that I would have to paint myself.

Thanks

Got mine off Ebay ... Already painted ... With the plastic Sport bumper, you want to look for 2500 flares ... The rears are exactly the same, and the stopping point on the fronts just look better on a Sport700b4abb5368e4cce2607c3fcaccedb9.jpg

I wanted full coverage flares for my RAM Sport and was looking at the Bushwackers above when I found these from Xtreme. I bought a set but have not had time to get them painted and installed yet...

Was looking at those. How far off the truck do they extend? Not sure if you’ve test fitted them or not. I’m looking at the textured black set to match my steps and plan on bed lining my rear bumper too

They are supposed to provide an additional 1.5" of coverage. I test fitted one of them and the fit was good.

Just purchased them in textured black. Will be installing as soon as they get here and will share pictures and my review of them

I just don’t think flares look right on the sport trucks.

They look kind of Pep Boy’ish because they never end in the right spot and look goofy from certain angles.

I just took flares off my truck because I forgot how sexy the lines on our trucks are....and flares don’t do them justice IMO.

I think if you have the metal front bumper you can make them look good but it’s a no-go for sport plastic bumpers.

nice I get that.

do you have “after” pics after going thru mud with the flares?

PS: I like the grill. the painted surround/crosshairs with the chrome big horn slats looks so good on these trucks

Flares makes most tires on 1500 4x4s look too small . Soap and water removes mud and truck looks great again . Our wheel well opening really limit the tire diameter we can fit now days. Lift the truck high enough to fit larger tires looks good then add flares and in most cases the tires are back to looking too small....again.

I was commenting on the guys with flares that suddenly stop out of nowhere on the plastic bumpers.

Those are different, and even though they’re style isn’t my fave, I can agree they look 10x nicer than the OEM 1500 or 2500 flares since they go all the way down the wheel opening.

That’s a nice looking truck but I think it’s look even sharper with no flares on it. Props to you for a clean setup though. I like it.

what exhaust tips are on there?


Slammed rcsb is nice. Here’s one I like that really shows off how good it looks “flare-less”

I’m on a 3” leveling kit with true 35s. Tires fit perfectly. Trucks not to high that they look small either. Completely the opposite. In person they look huge. I will be installing flares do to all the flinging from them and will post pictures of full length fit flares that are designed for the sport bumpers.

It’s all just a matter of opinion ... I think the 1500 flares look like **** on a Sport, but the 2500 flares taper down, and stop at a better point ... Lot of us Sports runnin em ... Personally I think huge pocket flares with bolt heads on a truck with factory size tires and no lift, look ridiculous ... But it not my truck, so have at it ... Fire that ***** up and drive it around with a goofy f*ckin smile on your face, cuz it’s yours !!!!
