Should I add Fender Flares

I was wondering what everyone thinks. Should I add painted to match Bushwacker Fender Flares - Pocket Style or keep it the way it is??

I got my eyes set on these bad boys... Looks nice and clean I think...








I think some Fender Flares look great on trucks but others don't... I am sure some other guys will chime in... I would go for it

I think they would look sweet. I have seen some pic where they look good PTM or stock, only b/c you have a black truck though.

I'd leave it. I personally think fender flares only look good with large lifts and tires that stick out a few inches.

But if they do (tires stick out), I think it looks good and makes the truck look a little more beefier....and the Xenon flares painted to match look almost factory.

I've got a set of those FF and that front bumper cover waiting for me to decide on a paint scheme.

Thanks! They were part of the FTX package and came on it new, but I am pretty positive they are the XENON flares and front/rear bumper covers.

aren't very many, if any co's that make them for the flareside yet- there is a guy around here that modified some Bushwacker pocket flares to work on his rig- looked pretty decent...


as for AK- id wait till you have new rims- I took mine over to a shop that had some for the the F-150 in stock- taped em up there and they look a bit goofy without a widened stance...

I also think that if your tires don't stick out why get them but if you decide to I would go with some of the xenon ones painted to match.
