Fender Flare 101

A fender flare attaches to the fender (body panel around the tire) of a vehicle and extends out to prevent rock chips, add tire coverage, and to enhance the appearance of the vehicle.  Most are made of plastic but they could also be fiberglass or metal.  They usually come in a smooth matte (semi gloss) black finish that can installed as is or easily be painted to match your vehicle.

There are several brands of fender flare manufactures that offer vehicle specific kits designed to bolt on without any major cutting or modification required.  Your choices for aftermarket premolded fender flares are EGR, Stampede, Xenon, Warn, or our favorite Bushwacker.

Bushwacker is the most recognized name in fender flares because they offer a huge selection of flares to fit almost every truck or SUV from 1966 to current.  We have been selling this line for over 12 years and can only think of two kits that had to be returned as defective (that is very rare in the automotive industry).  We can say without a doubt that no one builds a better flare, offers kits for as many applications, or has as many styles to pick from.  If the goal is to make your vehicle stand out ordering a set of Bushwacker fender flares is most definitely step # 1. 

Bushwacker now offers 5 styles of fender flares that are available for most trucks and SUV’s

1. Street Flares:  The smallest of all the Bushwacker styles at only about .75 inches wide is designed to go on trucks and SUV’s that will be running stock width tires.  They usually cover a little over two inches of the fender and will definitely change the whole look of your vehicle.

2. OE Style:  OE stands for original equipment meaning that these flares will look very similar to the factory installed flares that came on vehicles like yours. These flares cover more of the fender and are slightly wider than the Street Flares.  They work great with stock size or slightly wider tires.

3. Extend-A-Fenders:  These flares are usually over an inch wider than the other two styles and covers more of the fender.  They are designed to work with oversized tires (10.5” or wider).

4. Pocket Style:  These are very aggressive looking flares that are even wider than the Extend-A-Fenders and have pockets all around the outer edge with a stainless steel bolt on the inside of each pocket. These will look great on stock or lifted truck with 11.5” or wider tires.

5. Cut Out:  These flares are specifically designed to go on lifted trucks with big tires that demand extra fender clearance.  These are as the name says cut out flares meaning that you will cut out a chunk of your fender to install this flare giving you more tire clearance.  They are the widest of all the Bushwacker fender flare kits.
