I voted Oher because I liked the spelling, but I would go with the tow mirrors, I'll never own another truck without them.

edit: My mega cab has them now even though it doesn't in my sig. I kept them off my trade and put them on the day after I brought it home.

nah definitely set on color matched pocket flares. i like the beast look of the bolts. check out mmstars. Those are exactly what i want.

Keep the opinions coming Anyone have any guidance on what tape to use between the flares and the paint to prevent rubbing and removing the paint where the flares touch?

yep. theres a scuff on the driver side like he hit the garage door frame when driving in or something and it folded in the mirror. really not noticeable at all. They are for sure OEM w/ glass, not plastic. I was really hesitant so thanks for the encouragement

I went with flares since you got the oversized tires. Tow mirrors are nice, but are they something you really need? Stock mirrors will tow almost anything out there except really wide trailers like campers or enclosed car type trailers.
