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 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

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
