Default Fender flares

I'm looking to adding some fender flares. I don't like the huge pocket style ones. does anybody have some pics of their truck with the bushwacker "smaller" ones on?

Some input on which are the best, would be appreciated.

Thanks

Default Bushwacker Extend-a-Fender Flares

Here are a few shots of my truck with the Bushwacker Extend-a-Fender Flares. The first couple of shots are before paint so you can see the actual flare size.

That's pretty tough looking. Not a big fan of the wheels. I am a non flashy kind of guy but the overall appearance of the fenders is awesome.

Thanks, I understand on the wheels, however they are very similar to the stock Platinum wheels.

Maybe you'll like my winter setup better.

deereGeff... man i love your truck. but mine is growing on me with every mod. here is a pic before i had factory flares put on and after.

goalie... IMO... flares like deeregeff's can only be pulled off with a non factory oversize tire with a smaller offset wheel (guessing he's got between +15 and +30 offset). i looked at bushwhacker street style but the cost was cheaper to buy factory takeoffs. either way they both need a paint job.

Another option is something in between the Bushwacker flare and factory. I bought some that were just slightly larger than OEM off eBay for my '08:

I think this is the look I'm after... how much protection do these actually provide? Do you remember the online store you bought from and also how much were they?

Thanks

They provide some moderate protection, more than the stock but not as much as the full sized Bushwacker.

Might be a mute point as I checked the seller's store (see link) and didn't find any for the 2009-10, but you might want to email them to find out.
