They look good.

Just don't do like I did and back over a curb that is taller than your mud flaps will clear and rip them clean off the truck when they get pinched between the curb and the tire.

Those look great! My rig came with flaps x4 and Stull running boards. My plan was to take the grandad porches off the minute I got it home, however I was amazed at how clean the truck was after driving in the pouring rain for almost three hours. Never did take them off!

Hey, grind the corners round to match the chrome panels at the bottom of the flaps and your golden! Nice work.
