Flare Action
Fedex man brought me a present today . Bushwacker Extend-a-fenders. Still debating on whether I want to get them painted before I install them though, gonna check around tomorrow on prices.
And yes I'll do a write-up on install

Great timing!
I just happen to have a brand new set of Bushwacker flares sitting on the floor of my living room. Instructions seem kinda sketchy. I look forward to your write-up.

Bill, silver would look killer on those... I say paint them, I have never seen a set painted I didn't like.. I say either a nice silver or med. charcoal. It is much eaiser to do not.. Also, a bit help is to drill a 1" hole in the bottom of each flare for drainage / washing out.. (I put them in mine front & rear of each flare, and I do not get any build up.. It just washes right out...)

Yea, 1" or maybe a 1 1/4" - 1 1/8" will work, but the very front of the front flare would have to be a 3/4" You will need to R&I or at least pull them out a bit to drill the hole.. Then take a old garden hose, take the female end and cut it about 2 feet long (or buy some heater hose and a hose repair kit and make one..) I use this to run up into the flare to wash the insides out..

I'm painting mine....when I get em. I cant decide between the same gold as the rig, or a contrasting color. Ive made up my mind though.... the bumpers are getting de-chromed too.

I am sure that they will look awesome either painted or not. I vote for painted, but that is just my opinion. Goodluck with everything and show us the results when you are done! :fireman:
