Ouch. “Move to Arizona , it’s sooo cheap” they said lol. The most I’ve ever personally paid for fuel in my life. I’ve obviously have filled up freightliners, kenworths, and other trucks but never this much for my personal vehicle. Oh well not much I can do, gotta drive so I have to pay either way.
Added something to the truck, can you tell what it is?….

When I 1st got my Tahoe I was on the hunt for a set, but changed my mind. How do you think it would look if they were painted? Too much blue?
That’s the part I’m on the fence with , feel like it would clash with the two tone unless I two tones the flares too but would that look weird ? Never seen it done before

:hmm: neither have I.......interesting....I don't think 2 tone flares would be a good look--but that's just my opinion.

I think it'd look like those cheesy full stick-on kits from the 90s. The ones everyone's grandpa had on their "Show Trucks USA" edition Silverado where the fender flares and running boards were all one color.

Something like this:

I think you might be able to pull off blue (have Photshop?), but the black is the safest bet.

What about the flares all in the silver?
That’s more common I see when people paint the flares on a two tone. Idk it’s far down my list depending on how I eventually colormatch this thing so for now they’ll just stay oem.
