Best fitting fender flares

[Injustice]

I purchased a set (4) of flares some time ago and am just now getting ready to install.....The are a plastic molded material that have a textured finish. The rears seem to fit well to the fender, but the front does not line up. Looking for recommendations on the front flares if I were to replace these. I will be looking to paint them the same color as the truck.

My favorite are WHs Gorilla Warflares.

I'm not sure if there is such a thing.
Where and how are yours not fitting? Is it possible the fenders themselves have flexed out of shape at all too? That would just make a poor fitting flare even worse.

But most flare brands seem to fit pretty well actually. Even Bushwacker, acknowledged as a high-quality brand, says to test fit first and trim as needed along the back edge.
This was always an issue when people had them painted prior to fitting up because they either had to trim some of the new paint off, or wanted to return the flares already painted.

But after 40-50 years plus, these rigs can also get bent out of shape slightly even if they don't look it.

Good luck. Interested to hear what others say about how theirs fit.

If they are more rubber than glass I would use a heat gun. Get them softened up a bit, then rivit them down. Might just be the ticket.

If you do try to replace em with something else keep in mind the different brand flares have different contours and you could end up with the front not matching the rears. I also prefer the warflares. I would like to find a set you can cut or stretch to the body line and still have the offset in the rear line up.
