wow- lots of interest. Just so everyone knows I have only made a couple prototypes and I don't have any for sale. As you can see the end product saves you thousands and can be returned to stock by throwing the stock flare back on. I will start working on these again to see if they can be produced at a reasonable cost.

Some pics on showing how I do the mod.

I like the look and the concept of returning to stock flares. Make it happen Dave.

I will take some pics today of the finished product with the liners I made
instead of pics I'll drop my truck off for you to do the work then I can admire it in my drive way that sounds like a way better idea

I am all for this. Hell find a guy that does pre peg carbon fiber and it should be rather easy to produce them once the mold is made. A lot easier than laying down fiberglass and resin.

I hate the idea of doing bedsides. As someone that has dealt with having a fiberglass vette I will take keeping the stock bedside and a new flare over a new fiberglass bedside.

Easier to knock a dent out of the stock bedside than it is repairing cracked fiberglass.

Here are a couple pics of the inner liners I made- they are just temporary. Eventually I will make one piece ones but you get the idea.
