flares
Yeah....I might. Only $200 for them fully intact, no cracks, etc so I'm sure I can break even. Other than personal opinion about appearance, why do you guys say they suck? Is there a functional reason or purely opinions on appearance? If it's functional, I'm all ears.

As is or after painting? If I don't like them I'll be selling to break even. I'd add the cost of painting but nothing more (receipts included). However, by then they would be essentially mint condition. Newly painted including inside, new hardware, all mounting tabs intact and side marker light housing installed. We'll see.

Either way is fine, unless you pimp them out with pure gold encrusted :~). Just let me know.

I'm almost in the same boat 
I bought the BW Pocket flares for my fronts but really don't like the 'over' coverage. Honestly, after getting them I see how they would look great if I had 40s and a 6inch lift... but thats pretty much out of my budget range. I've pulled them off since and just ordered the full Bushwacker flat flares and im just gonna craigslist the failed 'experiment'...

Well, there's a couple holes in slash guard and the inner support but nothing that would prevent installing a different set. This was exactly what I've been concerned about....the tire size. Time will tell.

you seem to be getting mostly responses from people who just don't like the bushwacker pocket flares....there are a lot of people that have them and like them just fine...I don't have them but am planning on buying a set in the future. Try them out and see how you like them....and if you don't, take 'em off, sell 'em to someone else who wants to try them, and get something different
hope it turns out for ya', I think they'll look good

I like my Bushwackers

I have a 3.5" AEV lift, 35's with 1 1/5" spacers and the wheels have a 4.5" backspacing. The fenders are big but as long as the tire sticks out just a bit, it should be fine.
