Need new flares for '02 that has rusted out on rear fender near door, and bubbled paint on front fenders at wheel lip. I am looking for aftermarket fender flares that could cover up these blemishes. This rust is the only thing that is holding my rig back from looking sweet.
I got a price for some OEM ford parts, but would involve replacing the front valance, and am looking for a more economical approach. I cannot find anything on the web for aftermarket flares for our generation trucks. As a side note, Ford did a horrible job of making sure these areas were rust or corrosion resistant on our trucks. My passenger side fender is totally rotted though. I would hate to see what my '06 with the factory flares is hiding, but my guess is it would not be pretty.
