Only you can want to buy flares. There are metal tube flares on Amazon/ eBay for $400. It's not metalcloak price range so you're safe to pull the trigger now.

I'm on mobile so can't see where you're located.

If east coast or rust belt don't get steel flares, they will look great for a while, salt will soon eat the paint and they will rust. That leaves the choice of pricey aluminum flares or plastic. So choose the material first, then choose the manufacturer.

I now have plastic Bushwhacker flats.

I have smittybilt XRC flares and they are great. Cheap and easy to install. If you spot surface rust, clean it up and a little rattle can. Problem solved.

If you can't trim yours get some stock ones and do so. Very cheap and if done right look great.
