I'd like to know as well. Mine are faded, and treating them with a heat gun only helps for a few months.

Why don't you guys just tape around/pull them and spray paint them? Just use a quality paint...

I'm considering that. Painting the door trim will be more difficult.

I was thinking of that as well, since I have to pull for a rocker repair. Just was wondering what was out there. Eastwood sells a good plastic paint. The only OE flares I could find were made by Crown

Yeah, I wouldn't buy new oe flares... If you don't wanna have yours off for long, just go to the jy and grab a decent set to paint and then swap them.

Just snap all the studs off trying to get the junk yard pieces off. LOL


You'll need to buy new retainers.


I bought OEM retainers from the dealer. My flares were serviceable.
