Ford F-150 Raptor General Discussions [GEN 3]
Are Gen3’s front Fenders & Flares a bit odd…or just me?

[QUOTE="360North, post: 1702920, member: 47262"] Finally, saw a 37 pkg Gen3 ”in-person” recently (not mine) & as I walked around the truck, it occurred to me…that the rear of the front Fenders & Flares (on the door/mirror side) seem to be shaped a bit “odd” on the Gen3 as compared to the Gen2. Like, the front (near the lights) is bulged out nicely, but then flattens as it moves rearward to the door…and relies solely on the Flare to keep the wheelwell pushed out (wider “shelf” on Flare as it wraps back)…it loses some body curves in the process. Where, on the Gen2…the Fenders carried a nice curvy “bulge” all the way to the door & were simply “complemented“ by the Flares. It’s hard to tell looking from the front, but you notice it looking down the side from the rear. Sort of makes the shape of the Flares seem like an afterthought…as in, “oops!…we forgot about the design-lines at the rear of the front Fenders, we need to compensate for that somehow, to achieve balance…hopefully, it won’t be noticeable.”…am I correct about this!? I figure somebody that wants to develop aftermarket front Fenders/Flares for the Gen3…if you can correct that area & make it look proper (give it back it’s lost “curves”), you’ll have a HOT product!! In any case, it won’t prevent me from buying or taking delivery of my order…just an observation. Just my .02 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [/QUOTE]
