Welcome to the board.

The only flairs that I know of that require no cutting are the aftermarket stock replacements. That being because most use larger tires/wheels that require trimming to fit.

Rusty's flares don't require cutting but they won't give you as much of an opening as they offer.

Yeah, the main reason most people want to get aftermarket flares is so they can fit bigger tires, so the vast majority will require trimming the fenders.

Come to think of it I have a full NITB set of 4 Rustys flairs (look like the "Brush Whackers") I bought and never used. These are the ones that flex and don't break like the fiberglass ones, if interested email me at mfsj@totalhighspeed.com will make a deal on them.

Another thing to think about is any aftermarket flare is gonna require drilling holes in your sheet metal. If your gonna do that might as well trim at that point.

I would avoid bushwackers you have to cut a lot of sheet metal in the the rear.

Napier has some new flat flares that you could get away with very little trimming. Would have to trim bumper end caps but no where near the amount of trimming bushwackers require.

I no experience with rusty flares.

If I was to get aftermarket flares, I'd get the new Napier flat fender flares. They're cheaper than Bushwackers, but better IMHO. They look really good, and they're made from strong, flexible plastic. They also give discounts to forum members.

Agreed ^ Doug is great, he asnwered all my questions I had and seemed thoroughly interested in what I had to ask and say. I'm getting his V2 flares at some point, I like them more than flat flares but that's just my opinion.
