    I just got my pocket fender flares and I installed one and my truck freaking started looking weird. Idk if it’s just me. Should I installed them or return?? I am uploading pic with and without fender flare. I also edited pic and painted black front end cap which I am gonna do if I installed them lol.

    Honest personal opinion, since you asked......Return them. But everyone has their own opinion. If you like it who gives a shit what anyone says...May look better if you color matched the bulge and grill white though. I think that chrome is throwing it off...

    Can you edit the pic to color match the bulge and grill white? Would be curious to see what that would look like...

    Lost track after #1.
    If your tires don't extend out to the edge of them then they'll swallow up that area and it'll look like your truck skipped leg day. I went thru that. I'd hold onto them if you're going to upgrade your wheels and tires, otherwise they're probably not going to be worth it.

    I already spend money on tires and wheels. They are 1 inch outside fender and I am not thinking to spend anymore soon lol. But these fender flares will cover them and tires will not exceed them. They are probably same inch wide.

    Just color match the flares. No need to color match the bulge and all that crap. It’ll look good with the flares color matched.

    I think your truck should be lifted. It doesn’t look good with stock suspension.

    If you're not 100% comfortable with a part, especially something like that, return it. Worst case is you chew on it for a couple months and order again.
