Need Opinions on OEM Fender Flares on my truck...

[oak510_tahoe]

Okay need opinions. Yes or No? If I put them on I was going to flat black them.

Truck looks like this now:

Here it is with the OEM fender flares mocked up:

So do it? or no?

You should let me buy them.

I say remove the door body molding & put the flares on.

maybe. however the fronts have been sanded and the rear have been painted gloss black.By the shop that removed them from the previous vehicle.

I say remove the door body molding & put the flares on.

I was thinking about that as well....

My main issue with them is the wheels. My wheels are OEM offset. So with the fender flares on they look sunk in.

I'd say flares AND body side molding or neither. Personally I don't like the looks of one without the other, but that's me. To each his own. Given that you have black wheels (and black tires) if you add black fender flares I think its just going to look like you have huge black holes on the sides of your truck.

I notice you have TRP door handles and painted lift gate handle. What's up with that?

I don't mind. If you ever want to sell them please let me know.

I'm not sure about the door handles and paint lift gate handle, I noticed that as well. The truck was already like that when I got it, maybe it got rear ended before.

remove the door molding and paint them white, i love mine on my Z71

 

[Abn Panzer]

I'd have to agree with painting them white.

From a short distance (Side glance) the black fender flares look like you have bigger wheel wells, which make the tires look smaller. Just my opinion.

I had the fender flares on my 03 and 05 Tahoes. They were body color on both, personally I think that looks best. Perhaps paing the BSM and wheel flares body color. JMO

I say, for the look u r going for, stick with the flares and moldings but paint them both matte black instead of that worn-out blackish/greyish plastic

 

[polobuds]

i think it looks sick without the flares, but if you do go with them, i'd say paint them white!

 

[oak510_tahoe]

Thanks for the input, I think I'm probably going to pass as I'm running OEM wheels and the offset just looks sunk in with the flares. The flares belong to my friend ( a member on here ) I'll ask see how much he wants and I'll post em.

I Think they would look good Matt black but then again thats My veiw. Your Truck looks good either way tho too.

 

[MASS-HOE'Z71]

Truck looks sweet, i am a little partial to painted flares but paintin em flat black is going to make it look like your wheels are too small, white matched might look good but would throw off the more rugged offroad feel of the truck in my opinion.................rhino liner would be different

 

[denalianyone]

flat black should look good

 

[RSymons]

Dude, your truck looks great as it is. Dont put the fender flares on just take off the side molding, and it would look awesome. Or put them on and paint them white, but i definitely dont like em black!
