fender flares?
I was looking at changing out my fender flares as I'm not a big fan of the chrome and they don't look very nice I was wondering where I could get some that looked like the ones in the picture.
Or do you think it would be better to run without fender flares.

I recently acquired a full set of those from a local junkyard for $20 (not yet installed...not enough time in a day lately to get anything accomplished) I'd suggest checking into the same thing in your area.

Thanks for the information do you know if they would fit in the same drilled holes as the chrome ones that are currently on the car?

Thats a good place to start. And if you don't have any luck try LMC Truck. They have ALL replacement parts for these vehicles! But get out your wallet, cuz they are expensive.

actually lmc is missing quite a bit for 1st gens it is usually the first place I check but during my build thread there was many a time lmc had no listing at all for things I needed. As for the chrome fender trim question honestly I don't know like I said I have not had time to mess with them at all yet but if not meh it's nothing some self tapping screws couldn't fix (plan to back mine with rubber in hopes of keeping water from sitting behind them and causing rust down the road I didn't just put new fenders on last year to get lazy now)

Not the same thing he is talking about if I understand him correctly, that link is for just plain jane arch molding I understood it to be the factory 4x4 flares used on 1st gens (Which I do not see anywhere on lmc) The ones I refer to actually stick out an inch or so (haven't measured them yet to be precise) and please do not get those retarded flexy flares from lmc if I see one more 1st gen with those at yankee lake this year I'm gonna have to go ballistic on someone, those look more jc whitney than lmc. (do not misunderstand me LMC is a fantastic resource but for us 1st gen folk there are just some key things they lack and a couple that are just full of fail like those flexy flares BUT on the whole LMC is a lifesaver)

I got mine from LMC for $100 but I am not sure if they have them for 1st gens...

So they are off the 4x4?
and yeah I don't want something that is going to stick out much when I'm wanting to lower the car someday that would look retarded lol.

If its just the black version of your current chrome arch molding you want then the link Zedartwo posted above is exactly what you want and I misunderstood what you meant, I thought you wanted the ones that stuck out which is what I just got for mine and in that case they should match your holes from the chrome ones since they are the same thing just different color. However be prepared for some holes to not line up perfectly, I have heard stories of some folks getting items from LMC that were not exact match to factory holes but personally I have never had any such issue with LMC items everything has always fit perfectly and I have been very happy with what I got from them.
