Default Fender Flare (lack of) Issue

Hello, I purchased this truck from a dealer last fall (one owner with 90,8XX on it). As you can see over the back rear wells there is a worn groove from i have to assume, after market fender flares. I have no idea which ones i'd need to get to cover this . The groove on the quick measure is just over 6inches up the fender but below the visible designed fender line. I don't think i want to get into painting the bed/ect . Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, I'm not sure why the previous owner took them off. He left an eclipse amp, in head rest DVD players, digital equalizer, and the wheels/tires.

Maybe you can wet sand, compound, polish and wax it out.. Can you feel it with your fingernail?

i guess anything is possible... thanks/never considered that.

the EGR fenders may work... its tough spending that much $ not knowing if it'll work. most places i've found want a 20% restocking fee (if they don't measure up).

I am in the same boat from when I removed my Bushwacker flares, but thankfully not nearly as bad
