Mud flap ideas

So i've got this really nice paint job on my truck, have nice big tires and live on a gravel road I'm considering some type of mud / rock flap on the truck but not sure what it would look like or what style would look best. Does anybody have any really nice looking black plastic / rubber type flaps on their denside? Can I see pics and where you purchased your flaps. Thanks!
Pics of my truck....

Haha even though its "grampa'ed out", the look fits your truck. Not sure why, but it does

I agree, the PO had good taste (he was a grandpa).

That just takes all the manliness from the truck. But that would be a good prank, switching those out.

Well these were put on by the PO and I intended to take them ASAP. But with new paint and 35x12.50 I can see why he put them on.

They are still on cause I too live on a gravel road and they stop the cow crap from flying up and hitting me in the arm. Not all bad just the fresh stuff stains my shirt pretty bad......

And they grew on me, I will take them off some day and get better gas mileage, lol. Maybe some wide trucker ones in the back and some couture ones on the front and not such a top flat angle?

Get some carb board and get to fabbing a pattern.....you know they have stainless steel tread plate that is black.

Damn nice truck BTW.

There's a wide variety of rubber floor mats available and with a little customization can be made into mudflaps... that was essentially my idea input on this thread.

Yea I would agree 100% to big, probably floor mats, loose 5 MPH with them big ol thing pokin out the side like that. You know the things PO do???

But dang it they work great thats why I have not taken them off yet. Maybe when I work over the lift and swap tires and do the headers, they will fall off?
