Add Fender Flares or leave off

[MBORO19RAM]

Can't decide on adding fender flares or not. I like the non-bolt look so they must be smooth. I can't seem to find any that I like. Aslo I am leaning towards painted to match.

I am leaning towards these from ebay but can't confirm if the push in clip go into existing holes in fender from truck that came with flares from factory. Anyone buy these yet and install?

Yea not a fan of the rivets. I want smooth. Thanks for the link.

Can't see the E-bay link from my office computer, but if those are OEM flares then yes, the push pins are intended to engage holes in the fender. However, lots of threads on the forum addressing this and options to still use them. I went OEM and color match on my Big Horn because I also despise the rivet/pocket look...

Correct me if I am wrong, but on these new rams you need to drill holes in the sides of the fenders (that is what the clips are for), and re-use the bolts from underneath. When you order the trucks from the factory, you need to specify with or without the flares. They then stamp the holes and paint the fender.
I was going to have the dealer add them when I bought mine off the lot, but they told me about this so I backed off. Still waiting for someone to come out with OE's with no clips and a channel for double sided tape. If anyone knows of one, please let me know.

I hate that my limited flares are bolted on with black bolts. Annoys me to no end. I might try to paint them someday.

You can kind of see them here

I don’t like that either. I thought about getting that edge all painted black or line-x’d or something.

Truck look sharp the way it is. Flare gonna cover the tire offset.

Another vote to leave it as is. The bk/wh scheme looks very nice.

I put Brushwackers on mine. 2010 1500. Had them painted to match.

I added Bushwacker DRT flares. Had them paint matched and love them!

we have twins...leave them off.

Did the question ever get answered about if there are holes IN the metal fenders to support the OEM flares? I am also considering adding the factory smooth OEM flares but do not want to drill holes in my fenders to apply them.
Also - Does anyone know if the OEM flares come painted? Or are they unpainted and I need to have a painter color match?

Painted Fender Flares from Bushwacker would look good and help protect debris flying off and scratching your paint.
