I like the Bushwackers, but agree on the price. There seems to be a knockoff brand called 'Black Boss' on ebay for $300. Has anyone tried these or seen them in person to know how they compare?

 

Nice to see your Black Forest Green paint in the sunlight.

 

There is another forum member that had his painted and they look pretty good. I would also paint the bolts.

 

MOFSTEEL I'd plug the darn things if I could; bolts are SS so it would take a bit of prep but I like the idea. @billscarnage I saw the others but didn't want to risk on unknown aftermarket supplier. Someone lied to Bushwacker...

 

I realize these are specifically molded pieces for a GC, but damn $500 seems like a lot of money for 6 pieces of plastic.

I really like the looks, but can't justify that much money.

 

Well, taking a bit longer than anticipated since the new hood buckled when it was put on. The hoods are AL and really thin, so the body guy thinks the hinge got misaligned a bit during the limb strike. I took the advise and asked that the SS bolts be painted as well. The black JGC (above) does look good, but it won't look as good as mine.

 

Got the hood fixed and flares installed. I hate to admit, the faux flare bolts look OK with the other chrome on the truck. The body shop did a little sanding and massaging the flares to optimize fitment and they look factory installed.

 

They look very nice, just ordered mine can't wait to have them installed....

 

Those fenders look mean. I like them.

Those would look even meaner with a set of 33's and a lift.

Great job!!

Do these actually offer any additional coverage outside the original flares? It's hard to tell in the pics.

 

The add an extra 1/3 to 1/2 an inch considering I have 1.5" wheel spacers.
