After having my fender flares on for about a year I've decided I really like the look of the factory fx4 flares. But I'm scared the rubbing from flares in the paint will be to bad to to just fix on my own. I'm might remove them tomorrow if I have time. If the paints completely rubbed to the metal I'll just throw em back on. Hopefully that's not the case I looked under one the other day and it didn't look to far gone. So if it's just minor I'll try to fix it my self. If it's not completely to the metal I could try a body shop to fix it. How much do yall think that might cost.
Thanks

Me too. I like my flares, just sick of them after 2 years. Mine were on the truck when I bought it. So I took them off last year, but the FX4 flares ha been removed! And there's a long row of holes under those stock FX4 flares. Had to put mine back on. OEM FX4 flares are very expensive.

I'd be happy to sell them once I figure out if I can put factory flares back on with looking like crap with the line from them. But I'm sure shipping on these things are crazy so I probably won't ship them. I'll be sure whoever asked me first gets first dibs though.

PM me for where your located.

I have a front set of factory flares just sitting on the side of my house. I would be willing to sell them to you. They're in aspen green metallic tho...

No thanks. IF I buy any, I'd be looking for grey plastic FX4 flares.

They don't look terrible but in a couple spots it's rubbed down to the paint. Do yall think a body shop could fix this. And how much it would cost.
