Default Anyone with XL's put factory fender flares or similar on?

Can get a set of OE fender flares for my truck for $99 bucks. And was wondering how they would match up to my plain jane XL truck. Im thinking it will look pretty good.

Anyone with pics so i can get an idea?

I was thinking of picking these up to PTM. Factory flares are a bit harder to install since they mount via holes in the fenders which your XL won't have.

I did mine. Remove all the clips that go into the outside of fender. Use only the holed that mount to the inner fender edge.

I think I had to drill 4 or 5 holes per flare.

You need to pick up some sort of push pin retaining clip got mine on ebay in large quantity.

Or you could use sheet metal screws if you really wanted to.


Make sure you seal the drilled holes well.

Those are the cheapest I could find when factoring in shipping to Canada. Being in the states you've got a lot more options. From what I can find, those generic flares have a good fit and finish so that's what I'm going to go with.

I paid $100 for 4 tux black OE flares from Eastgate Ford in Hamilton... guess I lucked out.
