I drank the Kingpin koolaid
has anyone gotten OE style flares and gave them the ''bolt on'' look, like the bushwacker pocket flares?
As stupid as this might sound...

I doubt it, plus it wouldn't look the same since the bolts on the bushwackers are recessed, whereas there would be no way to do that on stock flares

I like OEM flares EXCEPT for the "seperated from truck" look they have/get when the start coming off the truck or wrinkle/bubble. Not very attractive.

Built, not bought.
I wonder if you would be able to get a body shop to take care of that. I don't know if the flares are metal (I'm not a 4wd guy, I've never looked at them), but it seems they could be welded if they are, then ground smooth with the fenders/bedsides. If not, maybe some fiberglassing or other body shop methods could make them look like they were seamless with the rest of the truck. No idea how much that would cost, but I agree that it would make it look MUCH better.

They're not metal. I've seen them fiberglassed into the body before. Then painted with the rest of the vehicle.

Might be kinda cool for those of you that are fortunate enough to be able to run OEM flares. I don't know though, it they are going to have the pockets and bolts, they need to be a bigger flare.
