H2 Fender Flares

[Humdingah]

Try SAE Parts on eBay as they have some fender flares available...similar to the LE fender flares but a little wider (3" if memory serves me) and they use 3M tape so you don't need to drill any holes.

That's my biggest gripe about these types of parts for our trucks...everything uses 3M tape. If I put something on the outside of my truck, I damn sure want it BOLTED on; cause I'm liable to knock it off. LOL!

Even the E&G flares use double stick if I remember correctly...they double stick to the existing flares then you bolt them to the truck. Still kind of a ghetto rig in my opinion.

I never did find a solid aftermarket flare that replaced the factory ones AND secured in, what I would consider, and acceptable manner. It's like everything on the market was just for 'looks.' I don't want rugged 'looks'...I just want rugged.

EDIT: Side note...SAE Parts on eBay has GREAT prices and customer service!

Hi the Special Edition hummers that had the cut outs in the rocker panels for the side steps came with different flairs and they attach the same way as the stock flairs. They are about 1 inch wider and go up the body farther about 1 1/2 inch than stock. I put the SE rockers and flairs, that were painted gloss black, on my white truck from SAE parts, very nice people to deal with. I do like the way they look on my truck.

E&G has stick on and bolt on I believe. Check this thread out: http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...ighlight=E%26G

My problem is that I've heard bad things about E&G, so I'm nervous to use them. I need the widest flares I can find so I don't think the LE's will work for me.

When I bought my 2003, the only extended flares to be found were Street Scene....

These are the E&G's I'm looking at. They bolt on, they look good, the only problem is the poor customer service I've read about on here. I was hoping Santa would bring me a set, but he didn't.... I do have a birthday coming up though...

I'm pretty sure those are the same ones pwrhse2k (Reggie) has. Once you get them on, what kind of customer service do you need? LOL! Reggie can prolly give you an idea of how well they hold up or if he's had any issues.

Well I heard that someone got two of the same piece and none of another piece and had a hard time getting them to exchange it. And someone else ripped off one of the rear mud flaps and E&G tried to charge them WAY too much for a replacement piece. I think it was close to half of the price for the whole kit.

Ahhh, found the thread: http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...ighlight=E%26G

I would like to here what Reggie has to say.

You're absolutely right Brent, I have EG&G Fender Flares on my H2. Installation is a snap; just make sure you have a sharp drill bit for piloting the holes for the mounting screws. General fit and finish is nice and the color matches up nicely with the stock unpainted trim. If you don't wheel your truck you should have no reason to need after sale customer service support. I’ve had my flares on for 2 years without issue. Highly recommend the flares if you have a wheel offset of -24 or greater due to the road grime that gets thrown up from the tires because they extend past the wheel well. Go for it Mark!
