Low profile fender flares

[WXman]

Has anybody found some low profile fender flares for these trucks? I want to put some on my wheel arches to protect from rock chips that could lead to rust in the fenders, but I don't have a lift or large tires so I need something low profile. Anybody found something?

They should be, look like typical plastic.

Thanks again for pointing these out to me. Great price! And exactly what I was looking for. I even ordered some rubber sheeting from eBay while I was at it, and made mud flaps to give additional paint protection on these gravel county roads I live on. You guys rock.

Did anybody that bought these end up painting them? How did they turn out? Also, does the top use 3m adhesive tape to stick to the body or does it just secure by the bottom bolts only? Thanks in advance

I left them unpainted, but regarding your other question, they don't use any sticky tape at the top. There's a rubber seal that you put on the edge (and that actually has double sided tape on it, but only to hold it to the flare itself, not to the truck body). The flares are "springy" and shaped to make a good bit of tension that pushes the top edge tightly to the fender. That creates a nice clean looking seal between the flare and the fender. I took one off recently and there were no signs of water / salt / dirt underneath the flare, after the Midwest winter. Very happy with them.

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback on them, especially the fact that you didn't see any wear on your paint. If I get them I will probably apply the clear 3m paint protection strip to the truck body itself for extra protection. Ive seen some YouTube videos where the paint under the flares has been completely rubbed off down to bare metal.

*Anybody have a photo of a black wheel flare on their granite crystal colored truck?

Also would be interested in hearing if the black plastic matches the plastic used on the side mirrors?

To paint or not to paint. Hmmm
