The new T Force package on the SR5 has them. But they are only for looks I believe. (as is everything on that package)

Do you think you could install those T Force Fenders on a 2010?

If they still need a truck to work off of, perhaps I should make a trip down to socal and do it. I'm getting my LT front installed right now so... it is time.

I installed mine. I actually tapped holes in my fender and used real bolts to screw them in instead of double sticky tape.

So I got a response from Fiberwerx:
"we do not, unfortunately we do not get enough requests for 4 runner to spend the time making a mold"
Sounds like we need more members to email them expressing interest to make it worth their while!

bushwhacker makes a fender flare for the 2016

And the 14 and 15, but Trail and SR5 only.

I should have specified real after market fenders. Not the bolt on stuff from Bushwacker.

Early 5th Gen Fender Flares
I've slowly been removing all of the exterior chrome from my 2012 SR5. Door handles, fog trim, and badging are all black now. It was all scratched and started to flake anyways. I would love to convert the fender flares to black vs the matched body paint stock ones to fit my new black "theme." It's actually starting to look like a TRD version, though I still proudly carry the SR5 badges...just in black now.
One frustrating thing I constantly run into as an "early" 5th Gen owner is vast amount of differences there are between the early & late T4Rs of the same generation. My search for fender flares is starting to follow the same path.
I totally understand from a frame, engine, and powertrain perspective they are almost identical. However, I do get a little more than frustrated sometimes when I'm talking to a vendor and the conversation goes like this:
Me: Hey! You have an awesome product! According to your site, you make it for the 5th Gen 4Runner. Is that correct?
Vendor: Absolutely! 5th Gen 4Runners rock!
Me: Cool! Does that include the early 5th Gen models? 2010 to 2013?
Vendor: Oh...no. Just the late 5th Gen 4Runners.
Me: Gotcha. Bummer. Might be worth changing your website/description to be more specific than just, "Fits 5th Gen Toyota 4Runners."
Haha. The plight of the early 5th Gen models continues.

I was actually able to pick up a set of Bushwhacker flares through the local Toyota dealership here. I did notice they do not advertise for them online, kind of odd.
They came with hardware to install and everything after i get them painted! Will post pictures once that happens.

Nice catch...when i searched their website for the flares, it does not give me a 2017 4runner option. You must be more savvy in your searches for that. Maybe thats why its hard for people to find them and think they're unavailable?

Perhaps your Google is broken?
