I had no flares.

They're definitely wider than our F150 "OE" flares. These Lund flares stick out 1.5" from the sheet metal.
My son had them on his 2006 F150 when the company was called "prestige", before Lund bought them out.
They give you that "in between" width of the Extend-A Flares and OE flares.
They're actually great quality and also affordable. (They advertise them as "adding OE styling" to the truck, - but they are definitely wider than OE flares).

I prefer the cleaner look of the smooth fender flares instead of the rivets.

Here are some different angles of the Bushwacker Extend-a-Fender Flares.

Rivets and extends both look great on our trucks. Black and PTM.

I just had mine delivered today, but didn't pay for Bushwacker's high price. Hope to have them painted and installed in the next few weeks.

I'm on my second truck and second set of Bushwacker Extend-a- Fender flares. IMHO they give just the right coverage and flow well with the truck's lines.

My vote is for the Extend-a-Fenders. I'm happy with mine!

I am not a fan of the extend-a-flares or the pocket flares. I picked up some of the Lund SX Sport flares (believe the same as RNL).

I recommend getting Bushwacker's flare strips vs. using the ones that come with the Lund's. I am glad I did because the Lund ones would not stay on the flares whereas the Bushwacker's have a sticky strip on them so they stay in place.

Thank you for the compliments,the truck has the stock FX4 flares but I am worried about tearing up the paint.
