Has anyone installed the Bushwacker Extend A Fender Flares?

[85crawlrunner]

I’m considering getting them as an alternative to new fiberglass fenders as I just did a vehicle wrap and replacing half of my freshly covered surface just to wrap the new ones seems like a big waste.

I see the pictures from the manufacturer but they just don’t give enough of an idea what they’ll really look like from enough angles and I don’t want to get them to my house just to find out I hate them…

I would not have to get those to my house to find out "I hate them." I can tell you that right now, I do not find those to be aesthetically pleasing.

Just my 2 cents, YMMV.

Well pictures of the Braptor flares I hated when seeing pictures of them but then when I saw a few in person I actually really like the look. Kinda wondering similar about the bushwackers…

On the plus side, it doesn’t have fake screws on the periphery.

Too bad they carried it so far up on the body. It would look better if they had crisp edges at the part line where main surface meets the 3/4” vertical surface at the outer edge.

Yeah I wish there were an option that was close to the Advanced Fiberglass look that wasn't a full fender swap. I'd like a cross between the bushwhackers/ BRaptor and stock, no bolt holes showing, but still able to clip to factory without swapping full body panels.

I’d love to see a photo of these installed on an actual Bronco. I don’t think they look too bad, maybe even good.

Ok finally found some pictures of them installed. Wish I had some straight on from the front or back to show tire poke.

I’d love a flare that is closer to the Baja fenders but it’s not seeming like that’s going to be a thing…

I’m thinking I’ll likely move on from this idea.

Bushwacker is the go-to brand for ruining a vehicle; if you like big, gaudy flares, if you think the Bronco Raptors flares look totally bodacious .. you won't be disappointed.

Those are almost as ugly as the Braptor flares.

look at the KBD Ones. Painted they might have a similar look to the ADV kits. That’s what I am hoping anyway

Yeah I like the shape of them, but they don’t seem to go quite wide enough for good coverage like the larger ADV fenders.

the standard ADV fenders are only 2”. These are 2.5”. I know ADV also has 5” so yes those have a lot more coverage. You’d get some poke with the KBDs on SAS wheels and tires but not a lot. And probably save about 4-5k.

looks better painted body color. Please post more pictures when you can.
