Which would you chose?

I'm lookin to replace my mudflaps on my truck. I've got the all rubber Dodge Head ones now. They aren't bad, I just want something different and with diamond plate to match my diamond steps and front mud flap compo.

Problems: Which ones should I get? I plan on putting the marker lights back on the bottom, so it will be nice to ground it to the metal on the flap instead of running a wire up the entire thing to ground it to the body. I want the best ones for the money.

Here's my truck:
Again:

Here's the ones I'm lookin at:http://www.car-truck-accessories.com...temudflaps.asp
http://www.car-truck-accessories.com...almudflaps.asp
http://www.lundinternational.com/lun...ps__truck.aspx

Not sure what width I want, I kinda like the look of the dually ones too because of the width.
Also up for any other suggestions/pics of yours......
Thanks guys!

I like the 1st ones myself. I would think the rubber center would set off the diamond plate better, but you wont have the ground you want.

Huh? I think the plate on the bottom would be more than enough to ground a small marker light through the mounting screw/bolt.

Honestly I hate diamond plate so I'd chose #3. Granted it has the diamond plate pattern in the black, but they're not that noticeable.

Why the hate Nick? I need diamond plate b/c the factory steps are on there and it would look odd.

Oh I just have never really liked the looks of it, and then had a few friends that WAY over did there trucks with Diamond plate everywhere and that triggered the hate. Nothing against your truck or taste Matt, honestly!!

You'll have to run a wire, unless the diamond plate somehow is attached to a ground.

I vote no lights on the mudflaps as well.
