Pretty much exactly the style I have been looking for.

Are those Bushwackers?? If so they have some new designs!

Once you have these... I'll take your existing flares off your hands.

As soon as Foosh's isn't photoshopped and I have a set to match, we will unleash the fury. :mechanic:

So you're going to make the rears 3 piece? Otherwise your bumper is going to be a pain to ever remove.

Plus, you'd alienate the people without rear bumpers, or custom rear bumpers.

Thanks, James.Image

I'm not Bushwacker, so it is obviously impossible to say we will cover every aspect of every possible modification. We are trying to achieve a baseline for a universally adaptable design at the moment. One thing that has been discussed already is how far to extend the flares into the bumper without needing to be attached. Even if attachment is required, it will be in such a way where a couple extra bolts on either side will free the bumper from the flares. As far as those without a factory rear bumper; The flares are going to be built as ordered. Accommodations can be made.

Take the flare all the way down the rear bumper or at least close. They can be cut off if needed. The truck looks horrible without a rear bumper cover and if a custom rear bumper is had by someone, they can easily get a little metal and create a tab to mount the flare to or cut it off.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

It's something being kept in mind. I believe the line itself is the same.
