Will SR5 flares cover the holes left by Limited flares?

[KentuckyRunner]

I searched, but never really found the answer. I have an 02 with the Limited style flares, and I absolutely hate them, and much prefer the earlier SR5 flares. Can anyone tell me if the slimmer profile SR5 flares will reach far enough around the perimeter of the fender to cover the big nasty holes left by the limited flares? Thanks for any input!

No, they will not. And even if they did around the wheels you would still have the holes from the side cladding. Sorry for the bad news

No side cladding, it's an 02 SR5 which has the limited style flares, so i was curious. Thanks!

Limited style flares have cladding.

SR5 sport style flares must be what you have, they're essentially the same but without the side cladding. They were available as an option so you did not need to have the sport package to get these flares.

I have the sport flares without the side cladding. Am I understanding you correctly that the sr5 flares won't cover up the holes at all, not just the cladding on the doors?

what about just the front fender flares?.... would it fit in those holes?

So what you're saying is the same as the OP said. The fender opening flares are the same but those that aren't LTD don't have the cladding on the doors. The doors aren't in question.

And no, the earlier SR5 flares won't cover the holes of the later flares pictured whether you call them LTD flares or Sport flares.

Thats funny. I always get asked "How can I install the Limited Flares" on their 3rd gen.

Same color as the body, they look great. Silver on silver, black on black, whatever. My t4r is white with the light silver flares, and I'm not crazy about the look. I may end up just doing black bedliner on the flares. I was drawn to buy it due to being well maintained with 95k on it two years ago, though not my first color choice.

[MENTION=95907]KentuckyRunner[/MENTION] the flares come off fairly easy. You can take them off and paint them to the color of your liking.
