Re: kustom wheel well covers what ya think

Skirts on trucks are a bit too much, IMO, I vote no..

Good effort though on your part to get a visual.

That wouldn't matter either. White walls only belong on a car that fender skirts belong on. If there's no tail fins or chopped tops, then forget it.

Re: kustom wheel well covers what ya think

If your going to put fender skirts on it you might as well put on a visor and add a sun roof, maybe a bug deflector on the front too!

Re: kustom wheel well covers what ya think

It would have a kinda retro cadi look...........not bad if done right, truck lowered as mentioned before white walls.........you might pull it off.

Most of all its your truck, rock it if you like it!!

Good a reason as any! I originally said no, but I agree with the "cookie cutter" statement as well. There are tons of "stamped" examples on the site. Not that it's a bad thing. Not bashing, just sayin'.
