Pre-'14 TE Black Fender Flares on '14 TE?

Wondering if the black plastic fender flares on '10-13 Trail Editions will fit on a '14 Trail Edition? Does anyone know if they mount with adhesive, or if drilling and screws or clips are required? Saw Jangoforhire's White Limited with them and they look awesome!

You can plastidip them, someone else did, check pics in owners pic thread. I think it was in the last month, it looked awesome.

To answer your question, no. They're not the same size/shape and portions of the flare are molded into the bumpers, so you would literally have to swap to all <'13 plastics.

I'd also wait till it warms up a bit more if you go the plasti-dip route. I did it thanksgiving weekend while it was still in the 60's and 70's....and dry.

(I'm in Houston too)
 
i did mine with plasti dip for temporary. will paint it with real paint when it gets warmer here. ;-)

Thanks for the information on the flare fitment and the plasti-dip. Great job on doing yours, it looks great! Don't know much about plast-dip. How durable is it and would it need to be redone again in a year or two?

Looks cool! I've got a White TE as well, with the same tires and 5100's set at 0.75". Gobi Stealth on order as of last week. So hoping my rig looks more like yours when it grows up!

Not sure I can give you an adequate answer to that. It's really easy to fix if you scratch it off, and it's extremely forgiving in application. Mine looks great with 2 months of wear on it, and is holding up well to contact with light tree branches/bushes.

Awesome. Congrats bro. I just ordered some TRD Pro rims. Hopefully it be here next week. Would love to see pics of your rig.

The Pro rims should look really cool! Nothing too impressive with my rig yet or I'd post some pics. Pretty timid compared to yours and others here, but I haul clients around in it so can't go as full blown as I'd like..big brother corporate office would take exception to it. Will post a few after the Gobi. Still deliberating light options.
 
Modifications , Quick Links & more 1

Do you guys not use the sticky above about Mods, Quick links ? Almost everything has been gone over or at least shows how to !! :humble: :tape:
 
So you don't see the posts about changing out sr5 or le to TE & the how to ? Hmmm I must be tripping AGAIN !

Do you mean the one that was started in 2010 and has all of 3 posts in the end of it that even mention the 2014 model? While I heartily agree with asking people to use them, the stickies have NOT been kept up to date to reflect the 2014 and newer refresh. And there is nothing in them to answer the OP's original question.

[MENTION=111345]Texas777[/MENTION], I am willing to bet the rear flares are a direct fit, and the front 3/4 part probably is. But you would still need to paint or plastidip the lower portion under the nose. But I have no clue how they attach or are removed from the body. You might be able to find that in the above mentioned thread.

And there needs to be a sticky in there that simply states PLASTIDIP APPLICATIONS. So much easier to find wouldn't you think?

Ok ! But there are posts about the clips that hold the flares on & how easy it is to break them that was my only idea on it ! Apologize OP
 
Ngyunn-nice job!

I was thinking of having the fenders and mirrors vinyl wrapped. But I may give this a shot.

Also was gonna do the rear bumper as well-Did you spray the rear bumper as well?

Looks good man!
