Fender Flares

As far as I can see, these are the main manufacturers for flares for us. I'm not really interested in trimming. Are there any others and does anyone have experience with either of these? Testimonials would be great if you've owned them.

I'm not seeing the conflict ?? If you *don't* want to trim the fenders then you really don't have a lot of use for the Bushwackers do ya ? Go with the Warn or some other Brand-X flare & be done with it. I've used a number of flares over the years and most of them are just that, ABS plastic (or maybe fiberglass) flares that bolt on, or ***** on, or stick on, or bolt on & stick on, or stick on & ***** on, or, well, you get the idea. Not really much to say about any of them. Bushwackers are cut-out flares that allow you to enlarge the wheelwells and then add the flares to cosmetically cover the hackwork (plenty of ways to phrase it but that's the one I chose) and keep things from rusting out. If you're willing to trim your fenders then the Bushwackers are the way to go & if not then choose one of the others.

I'm just going to use the flares to cover my less than stellar body work that will be taking place around my rear wheel wells. Bushwhacker makes a flare for use with the stock wheel well size and I was just wondering if there's a quality difference between them and the Warns. Price is comparable - i'm not sure of the difference between the installation methods.

There is no significant difference in quality between Bushwacker & Warn, they both make an excellent product.

I'm putting Bushwackers on my 95 in 2-3 wks. I think there the best out there for what your looking to do.
