    Question, I’m about to buy a set of the smooth OEM flares off a 2 day old 2018 Tundra CrewMax Sport to install on my 2016 Double Cab. Two problems I have at the moment,
    1-
    Will they fit? Is the crew max flares the same as the double Cab, did they make any changes to the wheel well or bolt pattern holes?

    2-
    They only come w the flares and the rubber seal. No other hardware, so where can I get some that will work? I have no idea what I need (size,length,clips,etc)

    Side Note-
    They are painted factory Black and I have a Magnetic Grey Met and I’ll have to have them painted unless someone wants to trade! (Fingers crossed)
    Thanks !

    1. Yes, they will fit.

    2. Contact the manufacturer of the flares and purchase a hardware kit. If you're having them painted, the rubber trim will have to come off, and you'll need new trim. (Most of the time, the trim comes with the hardware kit)

    @Roman Well if it’s anything like my side steps, they are the South East Toyota ones and it’s impossible to get anything from them. Do you by chance sell a hardware kit or do you think all the hardware kits are the same?
    I asked him to send me a part number and he took a pic and I couldn’t find anything based on the numbers. Maybe I’m missing something.

    I'm not in that region, so I can't get those parts. If they are SET, more than likely the flares are made by Bushwacker. At least, that's been my experience with SET and GST Tundras in the past. You should be able to get a hardware kit from an SET dealer, or directly from Bushwacker (if they are Bushwacker flares).

    I ended passing on the flares which I really hate, but for some reason no dealership could pull up the part numbers and bushwhacker has a hardware kit but , the kit doesn’t come with the two brackets for the rear flares. The guy at Bushwacker said that I would have to buy a set of flares to get those. so by the time I buy the hardware kit and all the brackets (if I could find) I prob could just buy a new set of flares from Bushwacker.
    I just wanted OEM quality and not some cheap eBay ones that would crack fade or wrap over time.
