Flares painted! Exterior look finally complete....

Aight, I have worked hard on these, sanding, priming, sanding, priming, and now the work pays off. I started with a set of Ebay FX4 flares and after much work, they are smooth and painted. I did this because the smooth Lariat flares from Ford are ungodly expensive. It looks very good, I am impressed with how it "cleans up" the truck's look. I'll get more pics later but you get the idea. I do have ONE more thing I need your guys opinion on. Should I take the FX4 sticker off or leave it on? I can't decide.....Here are the pics. The "before" pic is still in my sig for reference.

Looks great!

I just mention to my body guys while there to pick up cardboard boxes that I wanted him to do this when he had a slow day.

It really does look nice! Great work!
