I ended up going with Mopar Ram 2500 fender flares and Mopar mudflaps on my 2018 Ram 1500 Night.

For people that are thinking about doing the same here’s how it looks! Very happy with the outcome!

Nice truck, how do you like it?

I love it. I had an ecodiesel Laramie before I just got this Night edition 5.7 around Christmas and absolutely love it.

Good call paint matching the flares and step bars. Looks good.

Step bars came like that from the factory! I considered not painting the flares but I’m glad I did

Can you do me a big solid?
Will you look at ur build sheet or maybe run ur vin and see if you can see a part number for those “painted steps”? I love that new flat style step and the fact that it is color matched is awesome! Thanks man really appreciate it, the truck looks awesome btw.

Wait...you paid $775 for painted flares, and to have them installed??? You can get the same looking flares on ebay for $120. I just had my rear bumper painted by a guy who custom paints/airbrushes harleys and he only charged me $250!!!

Ehhh I know it’s a lot, but looked into the cheap eBay ones at first but they don’t come pre drilled and considering it’s a $56,000 truck I wanted the fitment, fit and finish to be OEM.

looks good, I like the color matched flares. I left my pocket flares black but I may have them color matched this summer.

Do you know which part number for the flares? When I look up the 2500 flares, I end up with part # 82212208AC, which says they're the production flares for the power wagon, i.e. medium grain texture. I'd like to find oem 2500 flares that are smooth.

Truck looks great btw.

$375 for the flares to be painted and installed along with the mudflaps

Looks really good man! Very clean!

Exactly why I chose prepainted flares for mine. Paid alot more but this was the eBay option I ordered first. I think the guy on the drill press was drunk905006c2bec6bed137e7c708c9e91b95.jpge001abf55bdcf8328187145fd3098ca9.jpg
