Looks good. What's the reason you went with these over the bushwacker? Any big differences between them as you smoothed and painted both, I believe?

just wanted a more factory look,

main difference between the flare is the bushwackers were already smooth vs the Air Designs were textured

I really, really like the painted bumpers and lower skirting. Keep us posted on how well the paint
adheres. I assume its all in the prep. You certainly seem to have it figured out.

Is it a standard flare, can I order? Bushwack is way over priced and bulky to my liking

yes you can order from Ford's website, but they are more pricey then the Bushwakers

I am just giving my opinion, but I think the way you had it before looked way better, other's may agree or disagree and that is fine. It was more "custom". This looks good don't get me wrong, I just like the other setup better. Kudos to you though for always pushing and making your truck your own!!

These fender flares aren't as pronounced. If you hadn't said you had them on, I wouldn't even had noticed. I like the smooth painted ones as well, but they should stick out more

I agree on the last ones looking better also other than the matte black

Looks good. I went with these too because they look more balanced. The bushwhacker in my opinion to look good need a bigger tire. My truck is white so I was going for the black on white. They really dress up the look. One thing about it, as long as you like it that is all that matter. I appreciate you sharing the pics.

I like them both. I don't think you could go wrong with either setup based on your attention to detail. Let me know if you would like to sell the bushwackers, my truck is Carbon as well.

Definitely a sportier look compared to the Bushwacker - looks slick!

Beautiful truck and a nice look.

Do these attach with some sort of adhesive?
