Gen 3 fender flares

That’s awesome to hear. I thought as much. Saw some on eBay, said never installed and they looked painted. Should be easy swap. Thanks.

I picked up my new Raptor last weekend and have paint issues with 3 of the 4 flares as well. Showed the dealer today and they are ordering a new set. They said they come painted.

What kind of paint issues were you guys seeing? Mine looks like something dripped on them and ran down. Very odd!

Are these plastic?

 

[jeff_k]

Yes

Jeff, looks like same issue I had. Dealer replaced my three flares recently. Looks fantastic now!

reminds me of Gunny Sgt. Hartman in full metal jacket when he asked private pyle if his parents had any children that lived. Said, looks like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mother’s arse and wound up as a brown stain on the mattress. Lol.

I damaged my Pass Rear flare, the new one came in painted but scratched up, the dealer ordered another one (same part number) and it came in unfinished in black? The dealer is confused, are they supposed to come in finished?

Paint to match. It looks good!

The flares are an impregnated plastic I believe. Thats why there is no paint code that will ever match it.

Personally, I've never been a fan of painted fender flares. From a distance, it just looks like joe-bob put fender flares on his base F150.

They might have ordered the Raptor R fender. Those are black.
