Let's Talk Fender Flares

[Braindead]

I noticed most Fender Flare installations were one of two options... Maxzina or Mabett.

However, something really eeked me of the way they looked, and i finally kind of pinpointed what it was!

Both of them are narrow from the sides & thick from the top. Which makes the curvature a bit wonky to my OCD eyes.
Also makes the body to wheel gap look worst than it is & the wheels look smaller.
(kind of looks like a kid wearing his dad's pants & shoes ) Also taking in consideration the difference in front vs. rear hight on Hybrids vs. non Hybrids, this might look even worst.

That is IMO the reason why you never see any pics by both manufacturers wont take straight shots of the side of the truck (it's always angled)

I believe that design decision was made to make room for the side Markers/ Blinkers in the front.

While browsing, i found a new contender called Almuloo (new to me at least). They kept the thickness the same throughout the arc, and notched the blinker.
Notice how the promotional image isn't angled either

Fellow Maverickians, what do you think? What's your experience with Mabett & Maxzina? What do you like/ dislike about them?

Anyone has any experience with the Almuloo brand?

If I were purchasing it would be an Easy Decision. The Mabett due to it's One Piece Design.
Not multiple (3/4) separate pieces at each wheel well.

We put on the Mabett flares on our Mav and they look good along with the rest of the matte black trim. We also were able to put on some "other" aftermarket f/r mud flaps (amazon) that fit pretty good with the Mabett flares and were fairly inexpensive (see link below if interested).

Bushwackers are a dealer-install factory option, and they look much better.

I also like the Mabett I think the black matches well

i’ve been looking into getting the Mabett flares for my 2025. I like that they’re not too wide, but I actually wish that the front set were two pieces, so I could get the front bumper off if I ever had to (like when I finally decide to buy the Putco light up Ford emblem)

The Maxzinga I put on are also a one-piece design.

 

[RR - All the way]

I think it would help if you use the same color of truck in your pictorial comparison. The black always looks good on the RR; not so much on what I guess to be Fury Orange. Kind of like comparing an apple (red) and an orange. Just sayin..............

Any Fury Orange with fender flares out there?? If so, a pic would be appreciated!!
