Bushwacker VS 01 Stock Sport Edition fender flare

Any of you guys know the diffrence between the bushwacker and 01 sport edition 4runner fender flare? It looks like the factory sport flares are a bit squarer and wider. I am debating to go with the bushwacker or factory limited flares. And how easy is it to install the bushwacker vs factory flares. Any info is greatly appreciated.

The Bushwackers are barely any different in the way they look. The only difference I've found is that the rear flare doesn't form into a mudflap like the sport package flares and also the Bushwackers are a bit more rounded. Other than that you can't tell a difference. As for installation, it's pretty straight foward. The rear door flares require drilling into the rear door to install a template that the flare connects to, but other than that it's pretty much, line up the holes, and drill the screws in.

Yep for the most part they are the same size. The factory flares might be a hair wider, but not enough to tell.

Thanks for the info, Jonathan, by the way, does the Bushwacker comes with the rubber gaskets?

Mine didn't, but I've heard that now they do. Someone recently put them on and said they came with gasket material, so I guess they do now.
