Default Your thoughts - Flares or No Flares?

I still can't decide if I like the look of the flares on my truck or not... it's like that chick on a Seinfeld episode, sometimes she looks good and other times not so much.

What do you guys think?

Flares:


No Flares:

I think with how far out your tires stick you have no choice but to use them if you like your paint. Having said that I think if you color matched them to your truck they would look much better.

I agree with rayne, keep the flares but paint them to match your truck its gonna make the hole difference. Get white mirrors and she'd be more beautiful than she is.

I love em minus how they dont touch your front bumper.. a little weird

+2 on color matching em

also, ive got the trx fenders and my tires stick out further than em, when it snows my entire truck gets covered in salt and sand. when it rains i get spray all over. so flares are a must with larger tires

Keep them, it looks good. But I think you should keep them black, personally, I like the white with a touch of black look. But I do agree on getting white mirrors.

First off, love the truck! Great job!

It's a tough call, because the truck is beautiful either way, but I think you should keep the flares on, but color matching I think would take away any doubts you have about them. I do agree though that I wish they came all the way down to the bumper. Either way, it's a minor detail and I think you'll like the color matched flares.

These are the OEM flares in white--you just have to imagine your tires & lift kit
