    if you leave the chrome rocker panels on yes.

    IMO, i would put the black ones on, and take those chrome panels off

    if you get fender flares, paint them to match the truck, im not a fan of the black flares. also as stated would look alot better if you remove the chrome panel. but its your truck.

    I have black flares...I removed my rear molding, but left it on cab



    I'm not necessarily a fan of the flares...but they are better then scratches down side of truck from rocks. I like black on MY truck..but I think painted looks better on 90% of other ones. I have a lot of black..so it kinda works.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    i was talking about the chrome not the molding. chrome needs gone, would look good if you color matched the moldings. either way nice truck. i just think it can look better if you remove the chrome, paint the moldings.

    I'd get color matched Bushwackers with the rivets. Since your color is dark you'd definitely have to color match which ever one you go with. Oh and yeah take the chrome pieces along the bottom off. The trim can stay or go but the chrome panels yeah thats not flowing too well there. My .02s too

    i kinda want to leave the chrome and take the molding off but i dont know if just chrome will look good and tryed painting the flares and it was a disaster got dirt in the paint and the paint reacted to the primer in spots, so im starting over now.
