I've been searching relentlessly for a "Raptor Style" fender that actually sits where a fender should – in the crease above the wheel arch. I ordered the Bushwhacker Extend-a-Fender and it sits a solid inch above that, taking away from the '21 handsome good looks. And honestly, it's HUGE. Anyone find a fender like the Rousch that I can buy? I'm sticking out about 1" on my tires and now that it's winter, I'm blasting down the side of my truck w/ mag chloride and ice. (Yes, I know I shouldn't have offset, but I like the looks and stability – just figured fenders would be out by now).

Something like this would be nice:

Check ebay. Guy sells Raptor flares. Search for Raptor flares and the ebay seller will show up.

I did actually see some of these. I'd be curious if they're quality or not.

Just bought a set from Ebay. Cheap. Just four flares with reflectors and a bag of screws. Will be sending them back. Guess I'll wait to see if real raptor flares fit.

I have been eyeing up these eBay ones too. And waiting to see them in real life. What did you find wrong with them, poor quality, poor fit?

Poor quality and fit. The top outer "edge" just ends at the quarter panel. No adhesive. Rubbing would be an issue. Not a no drill fender flare. No clips just a bag of screw. I am not drilling into my wheel well. Going to buy 2021 F150 Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender Matte Black Flares 20964-02 from Stage 3. Hope this helps.

Where are you located? I have a set of matte black extend a flares I'm waiting on the RMA from Real Truck. Never mounted, brave new in the box. Just a big tall for my liking.

That sucks! These are the only ones on the market so far that I like the look of. Does the top edge at least have a lip that you could add some two sided tape to so it doesn't rub?

No. It ends at a 90 degree angle to the quarter panel. I will post pictures soon.

Did you end up finding a way to install the eBay flares without drilling the fenders or did you send them back?
