2006 4 door tundra fender extensions (or, are they flares)

Greetings Everyone!

I am doing a slow paced facelift on my original owner 2006, 4 door TRD Tundra.
Two questions -

1. Has anyone repainted the fender flares on their own, i.e. with good quality can paint?
2. Does anyone know where I could buy after market replacement fender extensions?
thanks, Richard

 

What is a fender extension?

What is the actual truck package you have? There’s no such thing as a “TRD Tundra”, is it an SR5, Limited, a custom package like X-SP?

And is it an access cab 4-door or a double cab 4-door?

It may be helpful, maybe, to see pics of your truck.

I’ve repainted plastic trim (grille) on my truck and had good luck. But without knowing what color your truck is, it’s really hard to say. What color is your truck?

Want to help but you’re leaving out a wild amount of details, and pics would be worth thousands of words.

Have you worked thru this yet? : https://www.tundras.com/threads/so-you-wanna-buy-just-bought-a-1st-gen-tundra-eh.115928/

 

Hi Richard-
Is this what you're dealing with? I will be shortly too...genius here clipped my buddy's wife's Audi in the street. Pulled it loose from the fastener and bent it a bit. Likely will require some painting....

 

IIRC those wide fender flares have attachment holes drill through the fender unlike the smaller ones.

 

Correct. Seeing as it took only a low-speed, glancing blow, I thought I might be able to get it back into shape with a heat gun. Suspect I am kidding myself however, and will likely shell out the $250 for the Toyota replacement and paint it. Toyota part number for passenger side on a DC looks to be 75873-0C901. Whether or not I will try to paint it myself remains to be seen. Suspect shifty put some info about that idea in the monster thread.....

 

If a heat gun won't work, seriously, junkyard/parts truck. That seems to be the most popular DC color out there, and the DCs without fender flares are hen's teeth. As long as it's not an X-SP truck (or similar one-off custom regional package), it should fit!

 

Sold! Thanks
