Fender flares & your opinion

Want to get some bushwacker extend a fenders, cheapest place I found is auto anything for about 346 shipped. Anyone have a cheaper source?

Also I have a aspen green truck with arizona beige accent on the lower part. Do you think that they should be painted the AZ beige (like factory) or aspen green?
Thanks

im not a fan of fender flares in any manner but if you want them i think you should have some over size tires first... its going to look a little goofy.... or really goofy. haha

Personally I think they'd only look good if you're running 12.5" or wider tires... That's just my personal preference though

Igo mudding and 4 wheeling and I get a lot of mud and crap on side of truck. The stock flares don't do anything.

I agree with most, I don't think they will look right but they will do what you want them to do. I think putting some ford accessory mud flaps would work and look better than the flares with the narrow wheels. If you do get them let me know where you get them painted since I have a set I am looking to get painted.
