So I have a small amount of rust over the back wheel well of my 2011 Silverado and I looking for recommendations on Fender Flares. Thinking about the Speedform 1500. Pros/Cons????
Thanks.
Thanks.
Boy, aren't you guys a ray of sunshine?
It’s not chevy’s fault you can’t wash out the fender wells. It’s easy but most people just run it through a car wash and those spots don’t get cleaned.09 chevy has the rear cancer so bad I couldn't even put fender flares on if I wanted to I don't think. Sure ruins a truck. Never buying Chevy again.

About a year ago my 2010 Chevy Silverado with 93000 miles on started showing signs of rust above the back driver side fender. In February a paint chip the size of my thumb nail popped off. Every time I got in and out, I looked at that chip and rust and it pissed me off. Took it to the body shop for an estimate to get it fixed. Guy looked at me and said $2000. I about started laughing and asked why? He said the only way they fix them is cut the side off and put a new one on. Umm nope that ain’t gonna happen. He then told me to put fender flares on it. I said that’s just a band aid. So here’s how I fixed it two weeks ago.
The guy at the body shop said to take the taillights out 2 or 3 times a year and spray water between the fender and box to get the dirt/mud out, because that is what makes them rust as they never dry out.
Why did it post 2 pictures??
Fender flares are gay and I don't mean happy. Plus they aren't going to help stop the rust at this point only add to it by trapping moisture.
I don’t have any, but they actually can serve a positive purpose. Maybe not for a city boy like you who thinks he’s country because he drives section lines for a few weekends in November. Haha
