The advantage to the flares is definitely to help protect the paint, because i HATE the look of mudflaps so i took em off. Somehow, after 7 yrs the paint on the rocker still looks as good as the paint everywhere else...flawless.

But I sure am likin the idea of tow mirrors too, even though I rarely tow

On your truck you could pull either look off. Personally I would go gloss black. The tow mirrors are nice they do make parking way easier especially with a lifted truck.

correction. they look awesome if they're done correctly!! probably about half the ones on here look like complete crap. not naming names, make that opinion yourself.

for the record, i was the first one to do it on the 03-05 style light.
