Updated front end. Deleting all chrome. Should I put the fender flares back on?

    I like the flares personally. Gives it a more aggressive look.

    I used to really like the look of fender flares, but more recently I find myself not caring for it as much... kinda feels like a "Bolt-On" accessory and I like the cleaner look now. The color matched are definitely better than black though.
    Good lookin' truck either way!! :bananadance:

    Flares. Wished I had a hoop scoop. I also like the set up. What size lift is that.

    With especially if you’re getting dirt and rock spray up the side on that offset.

    It honestly looks good either way. :thumbsup: But I’d definitely put the flares back on if you’re getting mud/dirt and rock spray.

    Some Tundras to me look awful with Flares, and if I had trd pro wheels, and stock height I would keep it that way, but with the 4" pro comp suspension lift and 20" Fuel Kranks with offset, I'm in the middle about it. With the lift and aftermarket rims, I like it just as much either way. 5 for flares, and 4 without, got it split nearly right in the middle on the forum here. I told a friend of mine, I bet it will nearly end up 50/50 on here, lol. I added some detail on the lift for Tundra-XP. Thanks guys for all the input. I might have them put on, and if I don't like them, I'll take them off, hopefully not scratching any paint in the process.

    Had them on my last Tundra. Don't miss them on my current.

    Being honest, I think color plays into it. I had black and blacked out the bolt heads and it good. With yours, I would pass.
