Those flares look bad a$$ on your truck. If I were you I'd keep em black, they really set off the look of the truck.

They kinda look a little off, not sure if the black is looking quite right, I think I would color match them too, maybe paint the fake studs and holes black to give it an offset. But after you get bigger meatier tires I think there might be to much black there.

I'm torn on the paint em, leave em black, but either way, keep them! They look sick, and will really set off the look of your rig with bigger meats when you get em.

Yeah, I'm not really likin the look either. Don't know if it's the tire size and huge open wells or its just the black against your truck color.

I think with some bigger meats and color matching the flares, it would look killer!!!

Agree with everyone else. Flares look great, but you need some more meat on the rims. However, if you decide you don't want them let me know.

I can tell you right now that Bushwacker will not do anything about the fitment. Just so happens that their headquarters is like 10 miles from where I live and when I bought and installed mine I had the same issue. Both of my front flares had about 1/4 to a 1/2 inch gap and I was very dissapointed so I called them up. It took about 3 calls to finaly get to someone who could help.Ended up taking it to their shop they pushed the front flush and retightened the cheasy stock screw/clip and said look all better. Well of course as soon as you drive about 5 miles the vibration just rattles it right back away from the fender.

I was not very happy!


So to fix my problem I ended up going to the hardware store and buying six bigger bolts and clips to hold them on. I bought clips that actualy had a nut on them so you can screw them down tight without just stripping out that cheap *** stock clip.


I think if Bushwacker had just put in $3 worth of hardware to mount the front flairs the world would be a much better place!

I like the black look as it goes with your wheels and tinted windows.

I would get 1.5" spacers to widen up your stance until you go with diff wheels. Wider stance will change everything. Looking a little narrow right now!
