Fender Trim

Are your wheel arches missing a sharp edge that ties the body lines together? Fender trim is decorative trim that follows the edge of the wheel arch and gives your vehicle a more defined look. We carry trim in stainless steel and in Black Platinum finish for a range of pickups.

How to choose fender trim

The first choice is the finish. Stainless steel gives a glossy, metallic edge, while the Black Platinum version has a dark look that can match black details on wheels or the grille. Both variants are available from, for example, Putco. Also consider how the trim should work together with fender flares or mud flaps, as they sit in the same area of the wheel arch and together shape your vehicle's profile.

Fitment depends on model year and trim level

Fender trim is made for the specific model and model year, and even within the same model, the equipment can determine whether the trim fits. Product data shows, for example:

• Ram 1500 (09-18): for vehicles with a chrome front bumper
• Chevy Silverado HD (15-19): does not fit the Dually version
• GMC Sierra LD (07-13): does not fit the Denali or Nevada edition
• Ford F-150 (2021): listed for vehicles with or without factory fender flares

So check the model year, body style and equipment against the specific part number before you order. The mounting method depends on the product, so read the instructions and clean the paint thoroughly before fitting the trim. You'll find more parts for the same area under fender flares and mud flaps.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between stainless steel and Black Platinum fender trim?

The difference is primarily the appearance. Stainless steel gives a glossy, metallic edge, while Black Platinum is a dark finish. Choose based on your vehicle's other details, such as chrome or black parts, and check the product description for material and surface finish.

Can I fit fender trim if my vehicle has fender flares?

That depends on the part number. Some trim, for example for the Ford F-150, is listed for vehicles with or without factory fender flares, while other trim only fits a specific version. Always check the product's fitment notes.

Does fender trim need to be approved before my vehicle's inspection?

That depends on the product and the vehicle. Check that the trim is securely attached and has no sharp edges, and find out whether the specific part number requires approval for your particular vehicle.
