SR Fender Install

Just wanted to show a SR Tundra with factory fender flares installed. The SR version does not come with fender flares and do not have the mounting holes for the clips.

It always looked incomplete so I was about to purchase a new set but it was ridiculous for a few pieces of plastic trim (~800 shipped). Seriously insane pricing for a few unpainted fenders lol. I tried rough country sports flares but it looked so funny to me because they’re wide and you need a good lift and offset to make them look normal.

Anyway, found a good deal on Facebook marketplace (only 150!!! Thank you seller! You have an awesome truck) and was able to get these installed following the Tacoma SR fender flare instruction that someone did a while back. You just have to remove the tabs and cut some plastic pieces that stick up and sand it down. Use 3m auto tape and bolt the fenders on. Very easy. Took 10 min per fender.

The black gloss paint matches the sr mustache. 10/10 would recommend.

 

Got a link to that Tacoma SR flare installation?

Thanks!

 

this looks great. I have a white SR and I agree that it looks weird without them. I just got some flares and mud flaps take-offs. According to the Tacoma instructions, you need some specific hardware. Did you find you needed any special parts, or can I just wing it from AutoZone once I get into the install?

Thanks for posting this.

update. no hardware needed. you need the 3m tape as referenced in the taco how-to thread and re-use existing screws. Easy install and looks great. Found used flares and mud flaps on ebay for decent price.
