Hey everyone! Finally got a moment to throw together a quick post on my new NYTOP carbon fiber flare kit. Direct link: https://nytop.com/toyota-tacoma-accessories-store/p/2024-current-toyota-tacoma-fender-flare-kit Overall, I'm beyond stoked on these! Probably one of the coolest exterior mods you can do to your truck. Not only do they have neat design features, like the beveled edge on the front, but they're also wider than the factory flares. Helps with wheel poke and adds an aggressive touch to the build. A good potential alternative to fiberglass - no painting or body work that needs to be done. Much easier. I've gotten a ton of compliments on them. For reference, I'm running some Lock Off-Road Combat wheels (+1, 17x9) with some Arroyo Tamarock RTs (33x12.5). Let me know what you think!

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone has found a good solution to preventing rocks chipping the paint on the front of the fender bulges on the bed.
The new body lines are awesome! Just have noticed chipping on the front.
The chipping so far is pretty minor and can’t really tell in the picture because my truck is dirty. But this is the region I’m referring to.
