Default Pics of two tones w/ accented fender flares (caribou)

Anyone have any pics of these?

Did a crappy mockup in MSpaint, but would really like to see some live on a 15-17...

No pics. But the general consensus is fender flares usually only look good on lifted trucks. Otherwise they look out of place. At least that's what people say.

I agree. Don’t do it. Looks great as is. Just like mine but different color combo.

IMHO they just look silly unless you are putting on large tires and a lift.
Great looking truck as is!

Unless you are going to lift it and add bigger tires, don't mess up that great looking truck.

The stock flares look good, even if you go with a bigger tire. Don't go for the big doofy flares and tucked tire look.

I'm firmly in the don't do it camp unless you're putting wider tires and wheels. I've seen people do it and keep the factory wheels, and it looks bad IMO. The flares stick out really far and make the body look too wide for the track it has. Now, if you threw a level on it with some 20x10's with 33's on there the flares would look pretty good.

I agree with everyone else, stick with the stock ones. Here is mine with a 2" level and 33's
