Air design painted leadfoot fender flares

[Badmothertrucker]

I finally got them installed, luv the lines, fit and quality. I absolutely hate the shiny bolts. Probably gonna experiment with a paint program to see what looks best then attempt to plasti dip the bolts.

Lemme know your thoughts or ideas!

Looks great. The color looks to match perfect.

Wow, really makes your truck one of a kind.

I like the look. My only reservation is you can't use mud flaps and I already bought some for the front.

Thanks guys! I ended up ordering the same bolts from Air Design in black for $70. I did a photoshop mock up and like the way black screws look. Ill post pics when I get end of next week.

Looks incredible and very well done! what wheel offset are you running or are you using spacers? Imo these trucks absolutely need flares to finish the look

Do those bolts actually hold the flares on or are they just appearance?

Both actually, they screw into an ABS plastic bolt threading which is attached to the truck by 3m adhesive tape ( see pic ).

Offset is stock but I am running 1.5 inch spacers faction fab and they've been great! It did take considerable trimming since I'm running a full size 35' MT but I have no rubbing now whatsoever.

Looks great! Did you install them yourself? If so, how did you go about installing the front flare piece that’s placed in the space between the grille/headlight and bumper? There’s a rubber piece (valance I believe) that’s blocking the flare from fitting in that space. Thanks!!

I really like those. Wish I'd considered before buying mud flaps. Custom painting here is pretty steep. I got the rockers and those cost $650 to paint and another $100 to install. Add the cost of the rockers and about a $1100 expenditure. I'm guessing the flares would total at least $1500 and throwing away $500 mud flaps on top of that.
