My honest opinion is that your truck is so awesome, I never noticed the badge until you pointed it out. With that being said, it is the only chrome so I would experiment with making it a different color before completely removing it.

Flares on your truck would look good, but they just don't finish right on the front end of the truck where they end just after the head light. If there was a way for them to fade into the body line, then I'd like it quite a bit more.

Just my Oxygen here.

I vote leave it on. My only opinion would be to move it up by about an inch and I think it would be perfect placement! Truck looks great man as always. Flares look awesome.

I left mine on because I like the look of it and people need to know what it is! Although I will be moving it soon.

Thanks man. I was looking at it a little closer, and I'm not entirely sure how easy it will be to paint. Doubt if I have the patience it would take to do it. LOL

I hear you. As it is these flares fade more than others I've seen. I guess these were the least of the evils imo...needed something to keep the side of my truck from getting chipped up though.

Looks great bro like always!! leave it on there.

Thanks!! Yeah for now it's probably going to stay where it is.

I will keep that in mind, thanks!

I think of it that way too - but there would also be nothing stopping someone from buying one and putting it on a non-hemi truck. I dunno. Guess it's fine for now.

These can be had from mopar-wholsale.com for $280 (last time I checked). Part number is 82212208. Whether you buy them online or from the dealer, they will come black and have to be painted. The dealer, or whoever you will get to paint it, will need the paint code which can be found on the inside of the driver's door.

yeah..........they used to carry painted flares. Like, last year. I called a few months ago to buy a set...........yup, no more. SO.....I had a set painted. :D

edit - that is for the laramie flares, not the pw flares by the way.

Thor09 ordered the PW flares through the dealer but had to have them painted at the dealer once they arrived.
