Default Finally had to get fender flares...

So I had gotten pulled over last week for "tires sticking too far past body line". I had gotten a 5 day card to repair them, or else get a fine. I figured that I could have used garden trimming to pass the visual, then take them off. My neighbor had then mentioned that a 2nd offense would be a automatic $500 fine. In conclusion I figured it better to dump the $270 on a set of ebay flares.

I myself am not to fond of the look, I personally prefer seeing tread stick out when looking back in my mirrors, now it feels like a damn dually with 3 inch flares.

Tell me what ya'll think, I believe it would look a lot better with bed lined rockers, but im not gonna go through all that trouble, when I plan on getting rid of it this June for a Cummins!

Doesn't look too bad. Maybe white flares wouldn't have been as noticeable as black...

That's what a few other people said, but I didn't have the time to paint them. Plus if I do want to redo that, all them damn fake rivets gotta come back out, and the rubber that is between the flare and body line, which was a huge PIA. Actually putting the flares on the truck was the easiest part, that was after I went to ace hardware and bought new self tapping screws.

OffTopic: But anyone know whats up with all these ads on any picture on this forum in sigs and in threads? Pretty dang annoying

Looks good!! I see those for sale on eBay, I've been thinking about getting a set. I didn't know you could get ticketed for that. I'd be screwed, my tires stick out about 3" past the fenders.

Agreed. From the front, my truck has like a "bulldog" type of look to it. Y'know the way their arms (front legs) stick out a lil bit from their bodies.

I think it looks good. The black rockers would look good too but I dig the all white with the hint of black. Or you can upgrade like Merc said
