$375 to spend

Ok so I got a little extra money to buy a few things. Which would you guys get out of my sig? Pocket Flares or both sets of lights?

Keep in mind I don't have the front bumper so the PIAA's would just sit in the shed.

If you're gonna keep the truck a few years you should look at ATS flares instead of BW's which will eventually eat through your paint.
I put ATS flares on, they're held to the body side with 2 sided tap so they shouln't eat through your paint.

I'll be keeping it until the day it falls into a million pieces. Even once I do buy another truck or car, I will turn this into a deerlease truck. I looked at the ATS flares but I didn't really like them. I could also put some 3m Tape behind the BW flares for some extra padding too couldnt I?

Mark,

I got a Drag Banshee that runs on Alky for going fast lol.... But I am trying to sell it....

I don't know, is there a square edge for the tape to go on to? You like the fake screw things?

Thats probably what I would buy, they will make your truck look pretty sharp. Mine have already rubbed trought the paint and I used some clear tape on them to keep the fenders from rusting, but I don't worry about it, I will never pull them off, if they crack or break down the road I will c if I can get them line-x'd. I got ripped off on some Friday $399+tax

I don't know if there is a flat spot or not on them... I do like the fake screw things. I think they give it a little extra style vice the plain flares.

So you just got your last week an they have already rubbed through the paint?

I would keep that $375 in the bank to pay for troubles down the road..

That will cover having your rear axle seals replaced. Had to have mine replaced at 40K and they weren't covered by warranty anymore..

But, since guys with money usually don't think reasonably I would put that money towards at MBRP cool dual exhaust!!

I don't plan on doing any motor mods right now.

Tx did either of them have a flat edge like Fisher is talking about?

On the ones from my truck they don't have the flat edge on the inside, they have a black trim gasket for the seal, that's why I used clear tape. The new ones I haven't received yet should get them on Thursday
