that's just about what mine would look like except mine is a little bit diff color green. but that would be the overall look to it plus all the black extras. thats a good looking truck by the way.

Thank you fellas. No, I don't work for SVL, they were located about 30 minutes from my old house in WA. and being an archery buff, had to get the pic.
Big Bucks, like others have said, put em' on and see if you like them, you can always get them painted.
I got mine from Amazon for less than $400

I went out and bought Bushwacker Pocket style flares and had them color matched(Gray) I have since decided to get some contrast and may buy another set, if I can sell off mine and keep the flares black

as everyone said, buy them and install them as-is(black) and if you decide to paint them, remove them and have them color matched
good luck!

Here's mine:

Are those Bushwacker cut-outs? I'm thinking of flares on mine, cut outs to get rid of some rust issues on PS bed. The problem is, I run a 285/75/16 in the winter and believe it would look silly with the small tire in the opening.

Your truck looks awesome, btw.

Could do that.
Just don't like the big/wide tires in the snow and slush of winter.

My thoughts exactly! Jeff, or anyone, have you tried that DZ-32 bow?

To keep the thread on track, I like the look of the black flares on trucks, and only painted mine because they originally came in some god awful orangey-gold color

I am glad I did it though.
