Hey, i'm thinkin' about some fender flares for the truck. Anybody have/seen the Stillen flares? I'm not sure how they look. I like the ATS and Bushwackers. I'm still not sure about chrome fender trim. Opinions/thoughts?
Leave the chrome for the ricers, I'm with fanz, chrome flares is too much. IMO both the BW or the ATS are good choices. You want it to look nice and maybe draw the eye, but not blind it with glare.

I agree w/fanz also, chrome doesn't belong on the fender, in my opinion......and I think that photo on the stillen site is an awful example.....either that or they would only look good if painted......................

No on the chrome trim, cheap look... ATS was my choice, nice added body lines with an inch extra wheel well coverage... Bushwacker says they add 1 1/2 inch extra width, however I personally don't like the round look with our straight lined body but seen a couple with the BW's and look fine... Stillen's are similar style as ATS, only thing is they come in black only, no pre-painted to match, the front flares almost meet the front door jam, and does not have a fuel cap cover, just open cutout...
I went with the painted ATS also. I think the lines compliment with the Titan's fenders and the gas cap gives it a smooth, completed line that looks really clean. I personally can't stand the gas cap cut-outs of the Bushwacker or the V8 badge of the 2004 ATS flares, but that's just me. Looks like you'd have both cut-outs on the Stillen's, too.
