Hey guys, i have heard horror stories of Bushwacker Fender flares rubbing the paint off of the outside of the fenders over a period of time. If I decide to put some on, is there anything that can be done to help prevent this??

Thanks

 

i havent herd of that this should be interesting..

 

Do you have any fender flares on your truck?

 

no i dont but me and my dad are wanting some cuz our tires are out there a good 4 inches or so

 

I have the pocket style bushwackers. Just hesitant on putting them on cause of this paint issue thing. I may just send them back.

 

I never had any problem with them on my 2nd gen. Fit awsome.

 

Well from what I have heard, you don't know that the paint is rubbed or gone until you go to take them off. Thats when you notice. At least thats what I am told.

 

just get the 3m clear paint protect film and put it along the edge no worries then they do buff the paint over time they did on the 07

 

do they slowly work there way loose or what?

 

I think it's more of vibration. Just a bit of movement on something tight against the paint. Factory roof racks on SUVs do the same thing.
