Whats the best place to purchase non-painted fender flares? Looking for oem or close enough. Im thinking about getting a set to get Rhino lined. Has anyone done this, or know of anyone who has?

Hey. Check out this thread. I posted a link to a paint-ready OE style fender flares over there. There are some pictures of my truck with them. Also, some great info on OEM fenders and non OEM compatability issues.

Just make sure to not get OEM fender flares if your truck didn't come with them, they have a mounting system that relies on holes already being pre-drilled into the fenders.

Oh gotcha, so you want a 2nd set just for Rhino Lining.
Yea preferably a matte finished set to get coated. A friend did his on his F150 including the bumpers and it turned out really nice

Oh nice, I would just get a factory set since everything is there for direct fitment, but man are they pricey.

Or go with completely aftermarket sets, but at least you know these will fit exact.

With the existing wheelhouse liner screws.
Nice. I was hoping so since the OEM flares mount to different holes in the fender, correct? And do these matte black ones compare to the finish of the unpainted oem black flares?

Correct. They mount to both, holes in the fenders and the wheelhouse liner screws.
So you only used the wheelhouse liner holes since you have a Bighorn without the fender holes? And do these matte black ones compare to the finish of the unpainted oem black flares?

Yes, OE Style flares use screws only.

Yes, It's just matt black ABS material. When i bought mine, they only had PS2(Bright Silver) and a Diamond black one... I think they have more these days and you can actually get them already painted for about $100 more. I paid $250 to have mine painted + $200 for the flares.
You might be able to find your color (PSC).

I want to do the matte black on my silver truck. Just wanted to make sure it would sorta match the bed rail plastic. Thank you for the info.
