    I was interested in these as well. Hopefully someone will chime in and share some feedback and photos.

    I assume you are asking about the OE style fender flares on the 3rd Gen and not the 2nd Gen, like the YouTube video shows. If so, here are a couple of pics of my truck with that style fender.

    I got these specifically for the fact I didn't want the pocket style and they allowed me to keep my mud flaps.

    I have oe style that came installed from dealer. Thought about taking them off but they have grown on me. Only thing I dont like is the thick black rubber gasket that is visible. I have a set on my f150 as well and their is no visible gasket, looks cleaner but also depends on color.

    Don’t have a pic, but I have these on my silver truck. They fit well, look good, and protect the truck sides, which is why I bought them. I don’t mind the gasket; seems to blend in or I have gotten used to it. I think it protects the fender finish. Have had too many trucks with big flares, big noisy tired and terrible mileage, and am sick of that. My votes are for durability and protection.

    Thank you! I would highly suggest them if you can. Make sure yours arrive with the mounting brackets when you first receive them. I noticed I wasn't the only one who didn't have them in the box and I was stupid for waiting to check. I was waiting on a couple of parts i.e. the cab spoiler and wheels to arrive so I could get them all painted at one time and it wasn't until I went to install them that I noticed the brackets were missing.

    As long as they don't have the fake rivets then they'll look good in my opinion. I dont like the look of the pocket flares personally.

    OEM fender flares from Sparks. Had them painted at a local body shop for $250. Installed them myself.

    Thank you for all the responses. Trucks look great. Brown seems to look best with flares. It does change the look and the stance of the truck.

    It’s my understanding that bushwacker white boxes the OE flares.

    It means they sell unbranded product for another company to brand them as theirs.

    I'm also trying to buy some fender flares. But, I'm getting differing measurements on the Bushwacker OE flares. On Realtruck.com they say it has 1.5'' of tire coverage - https://www.realtruck.com/bushwacker-oe-style-fender-flares/R181988P2018Y610MA.html. On Amazon it says .75'' of tire coverage -

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0796671B8. Anyone know the truth? I'm also considering the Bushwacker Extend A Fender Flares - https://www.realtruck.com/bushwacker-extend-a-fender-flares/R181989P2018Y610MA.html. I like the round top angled to flat. IMHO it adds dimension and accentuates the lines and angels on the current model years. Thoughts?

    Stock is so temporary
    I have OE s in the garage waiting for install. I have installed on most of my past trucks

    Update
    2/26
    Installed the fronts. They are wider than I thought. Fronts were easy once I ignored the included instructions. I will install rears tomorrow and post pics. May remove and return.
    Boss got me my 6112's today. Can't wait to add them to the machine. Still waiting for my sliders ....

    Update 2/27
    Did not like the look and the flares FL and FR had different clearance to the front door leading edge. Returning to Amazon .....
