Fender flares -- Mopar or Xenon

[Archive]

I'm in the market to buy some fender flares, but would like some feedback first. I'm not interested in Bushwacker or Warn as I've seen those. I mostly want to hear back from someone who has the Mopar flares. Are they the same as Xenon's?

I think the Mopar Flare are made by Xenon. I have the Xenon flares. I should have bought the Mopar Flare though, Because now I want to paint the Xenon's to match the truck. Its Cheaper in the Long run just to get the Mopars if you want the painted. . The Xenons help with mud and such, And they stick to the truck pretty well too.

I've got the xenon's as my truck is black (I wanted the intense blue but was told it was discontinued) They seem like a good product but have a reputation for a poor fit(On the Ram). Mine fit poorly in the rear, so does my friend's, and I've seen several posts to that effect. The curvature at the lower part behind the rear wheels does not seem to match, leaving varying degrees of Gap. I left a message with Xenon about this (Constructive) and they did not bother to call back. I followed all instructions and have installed ground effects etc before with minimal issues- these just aren/t right. If I were doing it again I would by the mopars, let them install it, knowing i have the protection of the visa card and consumer protection laws to withold payment if it was not done right

I have the Mopar fender flares on my Ram. They look similar to Xenon's although they are NOT made by them. Andy Perreault posted that Mopar purchased the design for their fender flares from Xenon. I like the look of my flares very much. The paint job was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! #ad

I just put the Bushwhacker Extend-A-Fenders on my truck... I dont like them at all. I thought they'd look better once the big gnarly tires were on, but alas, I still don't like them. It might just be the combination of flares and running boards that looks funny, I haven't decided yet. Unfortunately Maryland requires flares with oversized tires so I don't know whether to take them off, or leave them on. I've been told that I run a serious risk of getting a ticket if I go through a toll facility without them... besides, I spent $220 on them, so I don't really want to waste all that money either. If they come off, I'm never putting them back on unless I get too much grief from Maryland's Finest.

Thanks for your help guys. That's what I was leaning towards anyways. Besides, I have a friend that works at a dealer and he can get me a pretty good deal.
