Bullpen's Back!

Pros: Following the Instruction, a complete four flare install took just 2 1/2 hours!
Cons: Cars with under body curve at wheel wells will need to add support strips to prevent buckling.

"While my wife was visiting relatives for a month, I decided to attempt to restore my '83 Dodge B150 Van which had suffered some side body damage to include total destruction of three of my DH Buck flares. Now take a look! Impressive!"

only flaw, June 26, 2008

"I am very pleased with this product. I used the 2 1/4 surface mount and the looks and perfomance is great. the only flaw that I came up with was the mounting of it. I ended up cutting 1/2" by2" metal strips to help secure it to the fender, although this took a little more time, I felt it was worth it."

The only flare you should ever buy!, June 9, 2008
By rumpeltiltskin from Colorado

Appearance:		5 out of 5
Ease of Use/Installation:		5 out of 5
Quality/Construction:		5 out of 5

Pros: Look great, easy to install, flexible so they will take a beating,
Cons: You NEED someone to help you put them on

"I love them. I put them on my old 57 jeep cj6. The reaason you need sombody to help you is so they can hold the flare while you run the drill. If you don't then you will get a wavy look to the flare. I would highly recomend getting the wire reinforced ones as they hold their shape much better than without it. OR, wink wink, you can buy the regular ones and just slide in some good old fashioned bailing wire in the hole provided. Being that they are rubber you don't have to worry about them ever cracking or breaking when you hit them on rocks, trees, etc. they will just bounce right back! You can also use armor all or any tire shine type product on them and that really makes them shine!!"

Flexy Flares, February 26, 2008
By japollo06 from Fairbury, Ne

Appearance:		3 out of 5
Ease of Use/Installation:		5 out of 5
Quality/Construction:		5 out of 5

Pros: Easy to install, Looks decent,
Cons: ends curl in, "wavy" appearance along top

"I have a 2002 chevy silverado with a 6" Fabtech lift and 305/70/R16 mud tires. I bought these flares because of the price, which was much more in my price range rather than Bushwhackers or something like that. Putting the Flexy Flares on was an easy task, and would have been easier if i had jacked up the body so i would have had a little more room to get the drill in, or a right angle drill would work great. I notices when i got them put on, where ever there was a screw head, the flare had a dip in it along the top ridge. Overall, i would recommend these to anyone with a tight budget and tires that stick out three inches from their fenders. i would recommend using a 3/4 or 1" wide piece of strap aluminum or steel as an entire length washer to help keep it looking a little flatter along the top."

Pros: Truck body protection
Cons: Cutting to fit

"Ok unless you have $350 this is the only way to put fender flares on your truck. These are OK! I have a 2002 s10 4X4 crew cab and I had to work hard on these flares. It took me about 3.5 hours because you have to take all four wheels off and screw in about 15-20 screws per flares (I recommend a friend helping you). Also, unless you have perfectly round fenders you will have to muscle these on to fit the angles of your truck. You also have to trim the flares to make them look right. I recommend a utility knife and tape measure. After it’s all said and done I'm pleased, but not excited. When I get $350, I will put the extend-a-fenders on. If you can save and don’t need them now, I suggest doing so."

Excellent addition to any truck/SUV!, June 9, 2007
By Lucifun from Gresham, OR

Ease of Use/Installation:		5 out of 5
Quality/Construction:		5 out of 5

"I purchased the universal 3" flares with the wire insert for strength and am VERY happy with the installed flares. They are very easy to mount on the inner fender, extend the right amount, and are very sturdy to withstand day to day use, both on and off road. They are great if you don't want to alter the vehicles existing fender well lines. They can be trimmed relatively easy for custom molding to the wheel well for a custom fit. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking to add flares to their vehicle and they are well worth the price."

"These fender flares are easy to install. Go on in just minutes and look really good when done. They decrease ground and mud spray on to the body, Dramaticly. A very good investment to any body who wants to protect the body of their truck as well as style it up a little.
I installed them on to my 2004 F150 and they look really good."
