How much coverage are you looking for Pat? I have used black "lawn edgeing" material to get a little coverage in conjunction with stock flares in the past. Looks good if done properly, and kept it's shape after years of abuse. Uber cheap!

I don't have any pics that I can find that are of any good Pat. I just used black lawn edgeing and cut it to length. I tucked it up under the original flare and used some self-tapping screws with silicone on the threads to ward off rust. I used a heat gun to help follow the contours of the original flare. I kept the rounded edge facing out and the flat portion inside. Sounds a little confusing but you will have to live up to your moniker and "tinker" with it a little. I hope this helps.
