Fender Flares

I think so, check out my hood width compared to the pic with the hood. We should be good.

What I’m hoping for is that the satin black is a good contrast with my lead foot that way I can install right away and save the $1000+ it would probably costs to paint all 4 pieces

I think the contrast looks pretty good on this white one that has the rockers and hood scoop.

I actually really like that pic, but I already purchased the hood decals from @VIPAutoAccessories and think that would be too much with the hood scoop...

Agreed

I

I as well ordered the rockers and plan on installing this weekend, or at least mocking them up to see how they look. Will the hood scoop even fit on our trucks with the vents? It looks close...

Well, here is a quick mock up of the door molding. Thoughts? I think I actually like it a lot....but how about yall?

I like it! I should be getting mine sometime today and will do the same. Black on white you can’t go wrong. Now seeing how the rocker panels look, I think the fender flairs being the same color would bring it all together.

Also I know you have to hood decal coming from VIP, I think their new Tremor decal that’s all or mostly back would go very well with the black satin air design rocker panels.

These are the air design flares @LDS in same satin black would bring it all together.

I agree it would look really good, but I REALLY like the small amount of orange the tremor brings to kind of stand apart. I really think the air design flares would look amazing....but personally I'd go insane with those SS bolts.. .

I got mine but after a day of garage cleaning and landscaping I don’t have the motivation to see how they look now. I’m gonna check it out tomorrow, what did you use to stick in place?

Thanks for the test run. I might be throwing these in my cart later. I've already purchased too much stuff and don't even have the truck yet so trying to avoid Wants right now over Needs.

I just used clear packing tape until I found my masking tape. Both worked fine. I didn't actually install them today unfortunately though, took my boys to a monster truck show lol. I'm doing my 5 light grille lights right now. Trying to decide how I want ro run em. I'll do the rockers tomorrow probably....maybe tonight depending on how good the bourbon makes me feel.

Monster trucks, Bourbon, just missing the babes!

I wonder if I’m getting pieces painted if the paint shop could paint the fender bolts to match or in Tremor active orange. That would make all the difference.

Lmao my wife went with, so my babe was there....and there were plenty of others for anyone else!

as for painting the bolts, I called 3 or 4 different shops and all said they technically could, but it won't last. They highly reccomend not doing so as it will peel and look like shit after a little while and you will be back getting it done again and again.

Lol, I figured on bolts otherwise it would be a known work around. I’ll post my rocker mock up later today and see how they look.

Yeah, idk if maybe you can powder coat them or something....but then they may not screw in. The bolts on the air design are actually used and not just a design thing.

Cerakote just the heads, the whole bolt doesn't have to be done

Oh I agree, I was just talking about what the shops said and options he could try. I went with different fenders entirely.

Here's a unique option for some. You can two tone these.

Wow, never seen those but look really good. I like the fact I can get them delivered in leadfoot. I’m gonna have to research these to see what the word is, good share

Well, I got an email saying the Xenon flares were being delayed for an unknown amount of time (and that's on top of their 12 week turn around time to begin with). So, I canceled that order and instantly ordered the air design flares. Once I get them in I will either powder coat or Cerakote the bolts and let everyone see how it looks. I will mock them up though so we can see how they look with the rocker panels as well.
