Team, I have dabbled across the idea of fender flares for my ride, but wasn't too sold on the idea. With the desire to get wider tires, it seemed like a nice alternative to mini-tubbing but after seeing a few pics, I wasn't all that impressed.
Well, guess what....
As I was driving to work this morning, I had a bright idea.....
An Arctic White (or some sort of "off white") Toyota Tundra or Toyota Tacoma passed me with those plastic fender flares over all 4 tires. However, they were all BLACK, like that exterior black plastic that usually fades over time in the sun.
Regardless, it gave me an idea! All the C5s with the L5 fender flares were always painted to match the same color as the car itself. Now I am wondering, if I went with the fender flare kit for all 4 wheels and had the quarter panels painted arctic white, but the flare itself painted flat black..... Hmmmm.... What do you think? Given my look now, do you think this would look good? Having the quarter panels artic white but the flares painted black?
Sort of like the truck I saw......
Here is a rough PHOTOCHOP of what it could look like....
What do you think? I actually think it would look great! I would prefer some aftermarket snap on vs an entire rear quarter panel, but are they available? At least if I don't like the look I can always remove vs having to pay $1000 + paint and not like it.
