both are about same price $450ish
im thinking of morimoto knockoffs for or paint matched fender flares.

at first it was headlights but its an opportunity to get matched blue streak flares. i have 2 inch spacers and i like it even without flares but of course, it would look better with them on. so what do you guys think?

attached pic of truck so you guys have an idea

I personally would choose the fender flares as they are a nicer look compared to going with the knock off morimotos, and plus, your black halogen headlight assemblies look great to begin with. Then again, it is entirely up to your preference and which one you like more.

Get the fender flares now and start saving up the pennies for the headlights!!! If those flares are painted from the factory, that will be your best chance for a match to the body color vs having a set painted.

Thanks guys. Flares it is

Sorry - I'm new at this. That quote was meant for you.

I agree with the group, flares will make it look so much better. Great color also. You may want to look into changing the grill also.. gives it a more updated look.

What flares did you get--the OEM 1500 flares or the OEM 2500 flares? With the sports front end the 2500 flares will fit and look much better--IMHO

These are from 1500. Yea now the waiting game begins. Prob will be putting them on next weekend. Guy will ship them sat from Texas to NJ.

My truck came with honeycomb originally and I really like the sport grill. Only one I would change it to would be one with integrated lights but thats over 1k so sport will stay for now. Not a big fan of new style.

Nice colors Trey J

I'm sure most of you have it leveled. So what's recommended to level and to improve comfort? see that blistein 5100 are popular. Should I go with them?

Are people having issues with fender flares not sticking well? I'm afraid the flares will trap dirt and moisture and thus causing rust. I had oem flares but sold it for that reason.

Mine are staying in place pretty well. Mine attach with screws using pre-existing holes in the fender well.

It looks like these flares came off a RAM with chrome bumpers. IMHO, they won't look right on a truck with the Sport one-piece style front bumpers. I plan on adding some flares on my Sport, but can't decide on whether to add the Bushwhackers or the EGRs in order to provide coverage for the front part of the wheel well...
