Question Chrome Fender Flares????

Hey, All
I'm just wondering if anyone out there makes Chrome fender flares for our Tundra's. I saw chrome flares on a F-150 and it looked pretty good. I been noticing a bunch of scratch marks near on the bed near the wheels i'm assuming that i'm kicking up dirt and sand and thats scratching up the paint its really making me mad cause i can see the scratch. I have a Blue streak tundra so the scratch mark is white and is very noticeable can someone help me out and send me a link and if anyone have chrome fender flares on there trucks please send me some pics any suggestions if this would look good on a blue streak would be good too thanks.

This may not help you out a lot but while driving by a local bank the other day, I saw a Nautical Blue CM with very small chrome flares, if you can call them that. They couldn't have been no more than a half inch wide. It was a limited so it didn't look bad. From a distance, they looked like they gave a small amount of protection. Not sure if this is what you are looking for but if it is, they are out there somewhere.

Dude, chrome fender flares are so 90's! It's all about truck matching painted fender flares now.

IMHO chrome would not be best for me. I have a set of Bushwackers and I love them and they are unpainted and same exact color as my other outside OEM blackish colored plastic parts.

Yes I have seen Juan's truck, not my thing. I have heard the next mod is a set of those red 3 blade "GT" windshield wipers, or maybe chrome one's.
