You should probably bold and underline that, cause I bet everyone is going to say "don't paint them" lol

Probably should make it HUGE and in RED too, of course they'll probably still look past it. It doesn't matter how many times you say it, or how blatantly obvious you make it, someone is still going to not pay any attention to it and say DON'T PAINT THEM :squint:

I should make some idle threats of painting them to see who's paying attention.

Either paint them matte black or match them to the truck.

Seriously, I can't figure out why no one has talked about painting them yet.

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe I could sticker-bomb them.

I think they look awesome as-is. Definitely don't paint them.

I had the same thought as Ace. I think fronts would complement the look, and I'd keep 'em flat black. Very nice job.

Nice.

I have loved my truck significantly more since putting a set of oem flares on.

I'm picking up a longbed tomorrow, white with no dents, and slapping an extra sr I have laying around. Been looking at peoples IRS setups and some of the front and rear 240 suspension conversions. Hopefully it'll turn out how I envision it.

Longbeds are cool if done right. Most people ruin them though.

Your truck is schweet, homie!

My pop had a 1990 SE-V6 4X4 extended cab. Was, I was told, the last of the Hardbody trucks. I learned to drive a manual in that truck. LOVED IT and was sad to see him get rid of it.

The flares look baller on it and I echo TMS's statement about the lines looking much like the R30's. Get some fronts on there and call it a day.

Just don't paint them. LOL!! (For the record, yes, I did see that you painted them satin black.)

Oh, and the sills are nice too.
