Default help please! fender flares

I have been looking everywhere for flares that I can use to extend mine down to the bumper. Does anyone know if something like this exists and if so where I would be able to find it? I saw this picture in truckin magazine but I feel like it is either a highly customized piece or photoshopped. Any help would be appreciated.

I think that an extension of the flares onto the bumper will hide the fact that my tires stick out and will have a smoother look from the side.

Looks like you have the same flares I got from Xtremeautosport.com except mine aren't painted. Call them up , maybe they have returns just laying around or buy the set for 225.00 . You would have to customize yourself to make it work. I'm no expert but I guess you can take a heatgun and connect the two ends together, then sand it smooth and paint.

Wait a minute, just looked at picture again.
I think you might need the rear fender flares to make that work. Good luck

In the first picture, I'd agree that a rear fender flare was used to extend the front fender flare; but the original posters truck has that special front spoiler (chin) below the front bumper, so the rear fender flair would not work. He could use a front or rear fender flare, and cut it on an angle to line up just even with the front bumper chin spoiler.

Thanks for the input. I ordered a set of rear flares to try and make a set for my bumper. I will post pics if it turns out. Hopefully its not a waste of $166.

I added fender flares but that did not totally fix it. They still stuck out from the bumper.
