You're not gonna get many responses on this thread with examples, but dang google is littered with pictures. Not sure how much more you could want to see than what an internet search is going to provide. Those look a lot like basic Smittybilt flares if you need another brand to search on.

Almost ashamed to admit, but I actually like mine. They are the smitty ones.

They function as 'something' of a flare but not much. You'll have debris all down the side of the vehicle and if you happen to hit them on something, good luck working out the kinks. My girlfriend has a set and they change the look of the vehicle but I prefer something a little more.....thus I went with MCE narrows.

Gets a little muddy with 33’s. When I put 35’s on it should get worse. I do like them though. Got them from extreme terrain for 98 bucks on a open box special. Come without hardware which was about a 30 second walk to my truck fix

Do you have a pic? I've been eyeing them, the price is good on Northridge right now, and the MCE's won't give me corrosion issues like the metal options on the market. Tiring enough dealing with all my body armor.

I can get more, they've been on for probably a month now- narrows front and rear and I'm really disappointed that I found a set of Nemesis flares about a week after putting these on. Nemesis was the first choice but I think these will survive Windrock a little better. Sorry abbabout the links, the forum isn't cooperating on mobile.

I have those fenders and loved them, but had a bad habit of smashing the passenger rear one. I originally had plastic Bushwacker flares. When I smashed the passenger rear on there it dented my entire quarter panel. I then switched to the steel ones, they are cheap, about $150 for a full set. I smashed 3 of those, but they did no harm to the quarter panel. Now I am fenderless in the rear since I got tired of replacing fenders. I still have them on the front and love them. If you are in the rain or mud with them they do very little to keep water from flying everywhere
