Are they the same color as the bottom tone and the bumpers? I'm sure they would be I just can't tell in the pictures.

Truck looks good, but you need to do something about those steps. Either paint them or take them off. They are the only chrome on the truck.

Same color as low line. I don't know what I am going to do with the steps yet, maybe powder coat like the wheels.

No they aren't fx4 flares, they are aftermarket I bought off a member on here, they fit pretty good. They are about 1/2" wider than factory. The only thing I don't like is the rubber piece that goes between the fender and flare. I believe they are EGR brand.

Hey Blang, when you powder coated your rims was your truck just out of commision 'till they were done or did you have a spare set of wheels? I'd like to do that to mine but I'm trying to figure out how I can go without my truck for a week. I'm thinking of satin black on my wheels.

Your truck looks great! Flare question, do they utilize the plastic body clips (they are used with the OEM flares)? I am not referring to the rivet style clips that go inside the wheel well. I want these flares for my truck!!

They have their own clips, and clip from inside the fender well. You don't reuse any factory clips except 2 push pins on rear flares and 3 bolts inside the front fenders

I bought another set of wheels and tires off craigslist to use while being powder coated. I now have them for sale on craigslist myself. I originally wanted black wheels but then decided with dark smoked chrome. Your truck would look good with either. I see black wheels all the time so I wanted something a little different.
