Just got a question for you guys. What, if any, are the differences between 04-08 FX4 flares and the 09-11 flares. Mine are faded and I've been looking for replacements but I havent seen any good factory takeoffs on ebay, but there are a few sellers that claim that the 09 and up flares will work on the 04-08 if thats true theres all kind of take offs to choose from. Well what do you guys think?

 

im in the same boat as you on the fender flares fading

 

You could prolly get bushwacker fender flares for the same price.. Hope this helps

 

Bushwackers are super expensive, I'm on a budget haha

 

have you tried "back to black"? i think mequires makes it.... its supposed to make plastic look black again and lasts longer than armorall...

 

Why not just spray paint them

 

This. Or my buddy used spray bedliner on his flares on his fx4 ranger. They turned out amazing

 

Haha me too man

 

I'm looking for a set of King Ranch or painted fender flares, to paint to match the grey of the bumpers and rockers. It doesn't seem like you could painted the junk plastic ones and make them look right. I have no idea why automobiles manufacturers cheap out on that plastic. Looks like garbage.

 

Mine were faded too when I got my truck but I got some gloss black spray paint made for outside and plastic and started spraying. I put on a few coats and it looks great. It's been about 6 months so far and nothing wrong with them. I was the truck the same way too, no special care for the flares.
