Think I need paint or Fender Flares #564503 02/07/05 07:13 AM

Hey guys, my forrest green T100's rear quarter panels were apparently slightly dinged up when I bought it from the dealership write at the top of each wheel well. It looks like instead of properly fixing the dings were just badley touched up. Now there is rust showing up, which really bums me out. I thought about properly cleaning it up and hitting is with some paint, then covering it with some nice low-pro fender flares, instead of having to completely paint the quarter panels. Any input on this and does anyone have any suggestions on sweet looking fender flares? Thanks!

Line-X some fender flares onto your truck <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Now that is a top-notch idea! I've still got to make the time to herculine (do-it-yourself line-x or rhinolining stuff) my rockers.

H20_MAN is right on... Line-x or Rhinoline (my preference) your fenders. Or if you want to save $$, then grab a can of herculiner and paint it on yourself.

I don't know how sweet they are, but here's a couple of pics of Bushwacker fender flares on my green T100 -

Creeper,

What are those extra handles above the side widows on your topper for?

Thanks,
Candido

Creeper,

Those flares are just what I have been thinking about.

How involved is the install of those flares. Drilling, cutting, fitting, siliconing, etc?

What model number are they?

Thanks

They're anchor mounts for Thule or Yakima crossbars to hold a cargo rack, ski rack, etc.

The previous owner installed the fender flares as he was running 285/75 MTR's. I think they're OK, but I like the Street Flares better than the Extend -a- Flares. When I go to a larger tire with more agressive tread I'm sure I'll be glad to have the wider flares that are on it.
