to Flare, or not to Flare?

guys I'm getting ready to drop the coin and buy my DGM skirts, Cervini's fender vents and Harley valance, but I'm still not sure if I want OEM fender flares or not, this is the last decision I have to make before my photoshoped render pic becomes a reality

No flares gives it a cleaner look IMO.

I agree, but if they do stick out the slightest bit than go with the flares.

It's really up to you. I love my flares. But on your truck I dont think I would do flares I think it'd throw off the look you are going for and would look weird with the side skirts imo

Just have to look at the total package. My wheel/tire combo slightly went out of the wheel well and I used fender flares. At first I figured it would look stupid, but after they were installed I was really impressed. Gave my truck a much more bolder in your face look.

Can I say no flares and fender vents?? I love your truck and think the bolding moldings will do it for you.
