Just two Specialized stickers on my back windows.

I agree, the orange one has an interesting flare, except the 'buttons' on the side panels. As for that red one, the sad thing is I know some people that would die for it.

The second makes me absolutely barf.

The first one, polish up those wheels and that truck is badass! I would have never thought orange would look good. Those are bushwacker flares btw.

A few slightly different touches to the first and I really dig...It's not horrible.

That second one is an abortion of a build. I usually have respect for others builds- but that is all shitty stick on stuff.....Clearly Gay.

Although...can anyone tell me if these flares provide any more tire clearance? It seems the 'pocket flare' style is all they have for 2nd gen and it looks to me like it only provides more coverage for wider tires...not wheel well clearance...
