Ebay...got em $140 shipped. Quite a few different styles, but I found this to look best.
I was hoping you were not gonna say Ebay.....I have heard too many horror stories about Ebay clear headlights.....Any one know of a reputable place to get similar looking ones?

I've never run into any issues with things from ebay. I can tell if something is cheaply made. It was pretty good construction, and that plastic will not fade and turn yellow. Even my cheap clear corners were fine. only would be better if it could withstand the impact of a tree.

The ebay headlight horror stories originated from the not so intelligent people that paid 40.00 for two brand new complete headlight assembly's. I cant even begin to tell you what I have bought from ebay that has been awesome. If you know what you are looking out for you will be just fine.

What about those fender flares? Did yuo paint the stock ones black or did you find those somewhere as well?

My truck doesn't have them so I'm looking to get some - I like the way they look with the red pinstripe...

I bought the street style Bushwacker flares. They have an inlay on them, so I felt a red pinstripe was appropriate to fit right there. I should have went with the extend-a-fender style. They seem to be more beefier but, it's all good.
