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.

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

Just make sure you can get them off easily for that inevitable flat.

I have them on my 62 Thunderbird but they aren't my taste for my truck. Then again, my truck is used as, well as a truck.

Whatever you want is cool by me. Just because it isn't my cup of non fat latte doesn't mean you shouldn't go for it.

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'.

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
