I'm wondering how much wider they are than stock.... almost look like the xenon 6 pcs flares but a lot cheaper.... wish I was closer to cali... all the sellers are there would love to see these in person... i almost ordered a set...
Hey, Walnuts. I actually have that EXACT same set. I believe I even bought them from the same seller. Anyway, I can put some pictures up for you and take some measurements. I've done a bit to my truck over the last year and still haven't put up new pictures!
But, back on topic, here's what I think of this product.
For the price, I doubt you will find anything else that low--that's why I grabbed them. I needed flares and everything else was in the $300 to $600 range. I got them for around $150, maybe even less.
In terms of quality, they are very tough and durable. They could take a good beating--especially if you go overkill like me with the bolts and tape.
They are nowhere near show-quality in their original form, however. By that I mean it is a bit of a pain to install them to fit perfectly (lots of twisting and pushing into place before you drill and tape, etc). So, the shape isn't 100%, but you can make it look good if you try hard enough. If you just slap them on, people will notice the gaps and lines. In fact, I didn't even install the 2 pieces that go on the rear doors because it would have taken way too much work to make them fit properly. Honestly, I think it looks cool without them, though.
The finish itself, you can see in the ebay pictures. If you leave them unpainted, it matches the black running boards and bumper pad (on the non-EB first gens). I'm sure you could armor-all them up for a better look. If you are planning on painting them, I'd bet it would take some good prep work. I can't say for sure; I left mine unfinished.
Finally, these are basically factory seconds. Open boxes, no instructions, no hardware, some cosmetic issues (like scratches or fading, maybe even some cracks). Also, not to deter you, but the seller sent me the wrong flares the first time around. He fixed it and paid for the shipping, but it sucked having to wait the extra time. But I commend him for making it right in the end.
Anyway, I'll snap some pics and give you some measurements. I'll try to do it by this weekend. I hope this all helps.
