I'm tossing around what to do about wheel well moldings/flares. Right now, I'm hung on;
Stainless steel moldings
TRX flares
Bushwhacker flares
Haven't trimmed the truck for the slinging mud and climbing hills look so the ruff and tumble look isn't a priority. I like the stainless, blends with the chrome wheels, body side molding and stainless step bars. I like the flares idea for side body protection in snow and salt. I read the thread on TRX flares and like them and Bushwhacker not fitting that well so, what to do?????? Help.....

I say go with the TRXs painted to match. I like your theme but IMO if you go with the Stainless Steel Moldings its gonna be alittle much. It needs some breathing room The bushwackers def wouldnt fit the theme, its too offroad for what you got which I dont believe thats what you are going for is it? Good luck man

Completely agree here, I think the stainless moldings will be too much and take away from your theme. TRX flares painted to match would be sexy.

Well, that's 2 for TRX, rode by the local Dodge dealer to see if there was a TRX in stock to see the flares up close, nope none in stock.

I say stainless steel. I think it would look good. Had em on my '02 Ram with a decent amount of chrome on it and that thing looked sharp!
