Something for the side? Thoughts?

So I've always liked the way my truck looked with step bars because it cleaned up the look and hid the frame. I took them off after I lowered it and have no interest in putting them back on. It just seems like something is missing to me. I was just trying to get everyone's opinion on side skirts or something??? The FX2 valance comes down much lower than the rest of the body... and I'd like something to flow with that.





I know I'd pretty much have to modify anything I got. I haven't been able to find any side skirt options for a reg cab with flares. Thanks guys!

I see what you mean, no idea tho. I know Cervini's has a body kit, but it's different body lines

That was one of my initial thoughts but I'm not sure what to do about the passenger side where my exhaust is. I'd have to cut it... and I'm not sure how I'd go about reattaching the end or how it would look. They are aluminum right?

Try painting the lower belt line a darker shade of silver, it will tie it all together.

I went through this exercise also after I lowered the truck. I bought a set of Saleen rockers to put in place of the steps. After mocking them up, they looked great, but I needed the panels that go behind the wheel to make it flow. Unfortunately, you need the entire Saleen bumper assembly and facia to make it work, and I didn't want to bother with all that. In the end, I stuck the steps back on.

I have a set of Saleen rockers for sale!

I was thinking about those Saleen skirts but I didn't think they would look right. Away I will post up some pics once I get started on this. The truck is my DD and I work everyday so progress will be slow
