Do the ATS Flares have a nice rubber backing gasket?

Does anyone have a picture of their truck with the ats flares? I'm trying to decide between them and the pocket flares.

O.T

ya the glass fenders and bedsides are sweet, I have the fenders but have mixed feelings on the bedsides.

The fenders were not exactly a easy change over. You have to prefit and drill for the fastners, the stock inner fender liner needs cut and replaced with new plastic. Fiberglass does not fit as nice as metal so in areas like the bottom near the door the lines are inconsistant.

The bedsides are the outer shell, you will have to peel the rivet welds and seperate.

Body work and paint 800.00 for two fenders
Install and slivers 6 hrs

They look great and serve the purpose for me fitting 37" tires was my objective. I have a small suspension lift so the glass opened up some room.

By days end there should be some images in my gallery.

Onetun, thanks for the reply, it's good to get some first hand info on them. They look awesome from where the pic was shot. Hopefuly the lines aren't too bad at the mating edges up close. Sounds like the back could be a real pain you know where.

53 ******,
I like the ATS flares on your truck. How much coverage do they provide? What color are they unpainted? I prefer a dull/satin black color.

Thanks,
AlK

I hate to keep bumping this topic, but can someone tell me if there is any paint protection behind these ATS flares. 3 posts above this one it says they use no rubber, so do they use tape? If you have these flares please chime in. I really hate to install something that'll tear through the paint and possibly lead to rust. Thanks everyone.

I bought mine with the truck but I believe ATS prepaints their flares factory colors so all you have to do is stick them on pics of coverage below...

my ATS don't have any thing other then the tape behind them...the tape helps keep the flare edge off the paint but it does not stop the dirt from going down on the tape...IMHO it does not matter what brand you get they all are going to leave a foot print of some sort. I would rather have the flares ether way.
in the end the rubber seal may be worse then no seal because then there is a tight edge for the dirt to work into.
all the fender flares I have sen have double sided tape to hold them on and then tie into the factory fender well mounts.

here is a pic of my ATS when the tape came off the bottom part(warranty) you can see up above how tight it fits to the body, but still not touching the paint.
I did not like my ATS flares at first because the tape came loses on them it was probably installer error because since they re stuck them they are great






that help or do you need more
sorry I don't have a straight down the side shot

Thanks Mark! Great info. Much appreciated. I'm going to tackle the install myself though.

Mark, thanks for the info.

As far as having them pre-painted, be warned it might not be a perfect match. A friend runs a body shop, painted my grill to match, he said there's actually 5 different mixes for my Atlantic blue.

My truck had a chrome fuel door on it when it came into town, told the dealer I wasn't paying for it, they took it off and painted a factory door and it's no where near close.

I think flat black looks good on any color truck.....

mine match perfect!!! but white is easy to match
I'm sure ATS has it figured out by now.....



Am I the only one on the broad with ATS flares???? I am surprised that no one else chimed in about the ATS.

Glad I could help Guys

Would placing a small strip of the 3m clear cover under the area to be covered by the strip help, or hurt things? I have to do flares soon too...
