I have 6” OEM style flares - they block all the mud. I’m positive the MC ones would not considering where I see the mud get thrown from. They sure look better tapered though.
Plastic vs metal fender flares
- Thread starter ejay
- Start date
When I work on my old Chevy truck, I actually just sit in the engine bay - so much room to move around

I just took advantage of the $400 MCE 3" full set of flares as well. I actually cut my stock fenders long ago to accommodate the MCE fenders, then realized the price...I'm glad I noticed they were much cheaper! Cant wait to get em.
Metal fenders also work well when you're a dummy and have to climb out on them to attach a strap!
Just got done installing the MCE flares.
Too dark to take pictures tonight
Tek screws are ghetto and should be left to the $80 chineeese special parts. I'm really not sure why they didn't use the factory mounting spots on the rear.
All of the aluminum spacers needed to be drilled out.
The fronts lined up really funny. Where they wanted to line up/sit was an inch farther back than how the manual says to do them. Still need to mess with them.

Is it the picture or don't they line up wrong to the grill? Looks like they sit about an inch back from the grill. Or are they supposed to do that?
They're too far back from the grill. If I move them forward they didn't fit along the top for crap.
They didn't fit to the point that I have the front brackets on the opposite sides for now so I can wheel this weekend.
I need to take them back apart and trim them to fit better.
One expects this with cheap chinese parts, I expected better with more expensive options...

You could always give them a call and ask for a replacement one - they have some awesome customer service.
