Does anyone know where to get Laramie fender flairs? My dealer said 800 i'm thinking that is way to high?

Is that painted?

Also, the way the OEM fender flares attach, there are quite a few rectangular & circular holes punched into the sheet metal to hold the clips on the fenders. I'm assuming you aren't going to want to do that to you fender?

If that's the case, I would go with an aftermarket alternative.

Below is a pic posted originally by mike12193, he upgraded to a aftermarket flare, but you can see the original flare mounting system.

Yeah they do have special fenders for the Laramie and Limited but i got after market "OE style" ones that don't need the holes...

You can also get them colored, they have a few colors in stock, Unfortunately they didn't have my color(PSC) so i bought the black ones and painted them.

Exactly the ones i wanted thank you!
 
Those look like they may be a little bit thicker than the factory ones. I like them
Very easy to install too... no drill no grill...
They're hollowed so that's why they are cheap, but you can never tell when they are installed. They're more flat than OEM but they look good too.
 
^^^. You removed your 2.5” front lift, did you replace it with anything ?

Not yet... went stock. The front was taller than the rear with 2.5"... I'm thinking of trying 2".
2.5" looked funny, especially if I had something in the bed...IMG_20200211_134354_202.jpg

This thread is titled "Wheel trim" but you're asking about fender flares? Interesting LOL
Amazon has a ton of flare choices, I haven't shopped for them but an annoying number of them show up in my searches for some reason.

You painted yours, but they come matte black? The pics on eBay don’t really look matte. What’s your opinion? Were they matte? Do they match the rest of the black trim reasonably well or do you recommend painting them?

They came matte black like the Rebel flares... They look pretty good(IDK about matching other black trim pieces, didn't check before i painted them) but i wanted the same color as the truck, tried to get a "Laramie" look, not rebel.
Painting them will make them more durable imo because it's a cheap plastic.
You want them as Rebel flares or Laramie? I think either way will look nice.

I have a BigHorn so I don’t have any flares. I was considering buying OEM and modifying them to fit since I don’t have holes in my fenders. This is obviously a much cheaper alternative. I would prefer to leave them black rather then paint them if they look good.

I think they will look nice even without paint on them. I just didn't want black so I painted them.

I just ordered these. Any fitment issues when you installed them? Installation is pretty self explanatory I assume? Thanks for your help.
