Bushwacker Fender Flare Info Pics?

[gmarcucio]

If anyone has installed the Bushwacker fender flares I would appreciate seeing some pics. I was wondering how they look with the stock tires? Do they extend out too far and look out of place with the stock tires? Obviously they would look better with larger tires but I would not be willing to purchase larger tires right now just to fill out the wheel openings if I was to install the flares. Also any tips or info on the install would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

There are a number of posts/pictures of people running bushwhackers. Some are even color matched. In my opinion they look ridiculous without running a larger wheel/tire combo.

Here is mine. I had to use 2” spaces in the rear and 1 3/4 in the front. If not it’s looks terrible without the spacers. Here is before and after pics.

That looks great! Where did you get the spacers, I might need to do that. I like the hood scoop too is that the Ford accessory hood scoop they offer?

Also, did you notice any difference in handling with the spacers?

I didn’t see any issues with driving after spacers. They are from a company called supreme. They are on Amazon. They are hub centric.
The hood scoop is from Ford. I clear coated it. Didn’t believe the matte finish would hold up to UV from the sun and bird droppings.

Good idea clear coating the scoop that was a smart move! Thanks for the info.

I forgot to tell you the Bushwacker flares come with metallic looking hardware.
As you can see in my pictures I used black plastic push clips and glued them on the backside with trim glue.
These can be purchased by the box at Harbor Freight.

Another great idea! I do have an assortment of these in my garage. Is it just the push clips that fasten the flares or does it have 2 sided tape also? I have a lift in my garage so the install should go nicely.

The fasteners that are already inside the fender attach the flares. The push clips are just for looks.

I had my Bushwacker fender flares painted and clear coated. I have the stock tires. I did buy the white markers to white out Michelin on the tires, but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

I don’t have spacers.

My Baby Truck is dirty but I like the look of the bushwackers with the 2" lift and Toyo Open Country AT III's.

Did you apply any PPF underneath to prevent wear and tear on the paint? Or was that not something you were concerned about?

Are those Ford splash guards? Just wondering if these flares are compatible with the Ford splash guards I have before I order them. Thank you.
