fender flares

well it finally happened to me. blew a tire and did some significant damage. Broke the flare above the wheel, among other items.

I went to Benlo's and they can match the flare but its made out of fiberglass (not injection molded) and 2 to 3 weeks to get it, plus $189.00!!!!!! I called Inland R.V. but they've not got back to me yet with availability. Any other ideas on where to source this? Thought about trying Warrior Lifestyles.

    Mine are fiberglass as OEM supplied. Giant RV had contacts for getting most parts. Depending on length those flares can be tough to ship.

    Good Luck.

    Google ICON fender skirts. That's where I got mine. OEM correct but heavier & more sturdy. Was very happy and price was reasonable. You could expedite shipping and still beat dealer price. The color was oem also.

    they don't have Rage'n listed, I sent them an email though, thanks.

    Also have an inquiry in at Empire, sent them some photos.

    Thanks for the suggestions! Fingers crossed!

    the guys that bought out WW/Rage'n (or at least their leftover stock) is Empire I believe, I bought a gas cap from them a few years ago. Talked to them, waiting a return call.

    Isn't So Cal RV doctor the mobile repair guy?

    so how do I get the rubber marks off the siding? Thought Turtle Wax would do it, not a chance.

    Assuming it didn't damage the underlying paint / color I would try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Fantastic little "sponges" that are not overly abrasive like a green scrubbing pad.
