Default Mud Flaps or not

Question for everyone.....I bought a set of mud flaps (Mopar) with the Ram Head logo. They are the flat flaps with a slight curve in them (not the molded set). I have a 03 QC (Avatar pic) with the HEMI. I want to know if they would look dorky, or not....I am having a hard time determining...and I would be putting on a set of 4....I have the chrome 20's on the truck....does anyone else have the flaps on the trucks, and if so, could you provide pics?

Thanks,

Personally, I don't care for the flat ones. I put the contoured flaps on mine. Regardless of what flaps you go with, i'd advice you to get some clear chip gaurd to go between the flap and body to protect the paint.

I went with the Mopar contoured as well. I don't know how the flat'll look, but I have the 20's on mine and like them. If you can swap them for the contoured, I don't think you'll be unhappy with them.

Since the flap will be flat against the paint do you think you could spray rustproofing (3M) along the contact area for best protection? I've been wondering if to flap mine or not but for sure would get the molded OEM ones. I see them on some of our sponsor sites and on eBay.

I unfortunately bought the flat mud flaps, IMO they look bad on the newer body style and you have to trim them to fit the front wheel wheels.

I refused to install them and went with the mold flaps as well
