    I really like how my vinyl wrapped fender flairs look, but I know that within the next year they are going to need to be redone or removed. (They get "door dinged" and then water works it's way under the tear and bubbles it.) Minor enough that most people wouldn't notice, but it drives me crazy. Is there a bolt-less version of something like the bushwhacker flares? I am not a fan of the bolts on those, but otherwise would think that was a great solution for me.

    I don't think you want wider flares on yours unless you plan on getting different rims/tires.

    Might look a little funny.

    I think I saw some universal stick on ones being advertised. Think was on wish.com. Never looked into it much, since you have to sign up to even browse. Watching this thread in case you find some.

    There are, if you search in Amazon a company is something like RDM or something. They are a little cheaper that BW.

    These are probably the stick on ones.

    I was looking at them on mine but my tires ended up not sticking out of the fender so I didn't need them.

    But looking at SCMountaineer's pics he doesn't really need flares that extend.

    I really wish the 4Runner had flares like the non painted ones on the Tacoma.

    Thanks guys...agree that I definitely don’t want any that stick out further. Ideally would like to just replace the OEM ones with a textured black plastic...like the 2010-2013 Trail Editions had.

    I’ve seen OEM 3rd gen kits for sale. Then use a spacer on your rims to match it up..
