    Anybody have any experience with these flares or this company? I like the OE look flares much better than the rivet look personally. These seem like a great deal compared to the Bushwhackers in similar style that are $470-$490. No review on Amazon and only one review on their website.

    I like the look, color matched would be sweet. I prefer the OEM look over rivets too.

    If I get them, I want the black to match my bumper ends and all the other blacked out parts. I keep thinking I only need to do one or two more things to the truck, but then my list grows

    I'm not trying to be disrespectful to the op but I try to live by the old saying "you get what you pay for" and I have seen this come true numerous times over the last few years on other truck forums and such...personally I feel safer buying prouducts that have proven themselves over time even if they do cost a bit more than others...jmo

    I know what you are saying. That's why I was curious if anyone had any experience with these. Unfortunately, I also live by the saying "you get what your wife will let you pay for". :rofl:

    Mine is a straight killer so i cover my tracks... but she finds out. I replaced the motor on my jet boat this spring with a new 150 yamaha, had it wrapped to even look like the new motor. Second day home it was in the driveway and she noticed it and my cover was blown

    No offense to this poster, but I purchased a set of off-brand pocket fender flares from Amazon for $176.00; color match painted them (MGM) and mounted myself and they turned out PHENOMENAL!! Total amount paid after paint: $240.00 and the final product is JUST AS NICE AS MY BUDDY'S BUSHWACKER FLARES! Bushwacker wants almost $800.00 for color matched pocket flares... no thanks!

    I know this post is old, but I have had rdj flares for a couple of years and really like them. I havent had any issues and they fit good. Before those I had bushwackers which had gaps and never fit right. I would buy rdj again if I needed new flares.

    Thanks. Do you have any pictures? I looked at the RDJ flares, but the measurements were wider than what I needed. For now I ordered Tyger Auto:
    $131 Tyger Auto Fender Flares Compatible with 2014-2021 Toyota Tundra, Smooth Textured Paintable Bolt-Riveted Style 4pc | TG-FF8T4178
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M31ZIPO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I do like the 1.75" of extra coverage. Any wider and it would look too big with my tires.

    I just dont like the little part at the bottom of the flares that looks like a mud flap.

    I'll have to look through my old purchases to find out. The ones in the photo, that I am discussing in this thread, are NOT the ones that I currently have on my truck. A friend of mine, at a body shop, prepped, painted and installed new ones for me as one of the older ones got damaged.

    OK, just looked through my Amazon purchase history, and the brand was "SUPER DRIVE". Unfortunately, they are no longer available.

    How's the tyger brand holding up? Did you get them painted? Also can Timsp8 post a pic of RDJ flares? Looking to make a move on one of these brands. Decided Bushwacker is to expensive.

    Got my RDJ flares installed. I'm a big fan of the fit and quality. I got the textured ones to try and match the bumpers.

    Easy to install and should help with preserving my paint.
