    The side of my 2021 WindChill Pearl 1794 looks pretty plain compared to my 2022 1794. I saw some nice looking painted flares on here and can't locate the post now. Looking for recommendations. No fake rivets or bolts, just nice smooth flares like the 22-24 models are sporting.

    Thanks

    Thanks. I've seen the Rough Country and the Bushwackers. It seems like there was another brand and they were around $900 painted to match. Just can't recall the brand.

    I have the bushwacker extend-flair and I think they look pretty good. They also offer a bit of extra coverage for wider tires.

    Whatever flair you put on there, I would recommend putting some sort of plastic barrier between your truck and the edge of the flair as they move a bit. There will be contaminants trapped between the truck and the flair causing abrasive action to the paint. I used one of the clear bra materials, though I forget the brand, and it has held up ok for the last 5years. The exception to that is under the truck by the wheel well where it has peeled away. Otherwise beware of stress cracks. I took mine off a few months ago to repair some stress cracks and some reinforcement. While I was in there I noticed some accumulated leaves and dirt. Thus I would be cleaning out behind them every couple years. For reference, The stress cracks were along the inside of the fender well towards the bottom.
