I don't believe those are the IS flares because they don't have the integrated mud flap on the bottom, or so it appears.

It looks like they are the Limited flares with the larger mud flap removed from the bottom.

Either way, they do look nice though. I wouldn't waste the time changing them if that were my truck. Look close enough to the IS flares!

I'm trying to decide if it is worth the extra work.
Thanks for your comments.
Check my photos...I haven't gotten around to putting the IS flares on yet.

tlcatundra,
Are you sure those are Stock Limited flares?

The look more like IS flares with IS front bumper. The limited flares are more round on the top as what atomic80 got.

Hmmm, I don't think tlcatundra has IS flares. These flares have a very distinctive extension at the bottom of the flare. I can't see someone cutting the flares off flush with the bottom of the cab body. They look like Limited flares with the mud flap removed.

Tlcatundra, take a look at each type of flare from the front and back. That's where the difference will be most apparent. IS flares are just a little narrower at the top but follow the body contour towards the bottom. Stock flares are more straight up and down. My OEM tires look bigger, visually filling the wheel well with the IS flares.
