I like it! Definitely one of the better solutions I've seen. It's so hard to get flares that look ok on sierras.

Nice work, I was going to do this but call me lazy, It's too much work for little gain. I just tilted it towards the front a bit more.

Yours is very seamless and you've done a good job of it, i just took the easier option.

flares are yet to be bolted on, they are just stilling on the mounts,
still need to make up some inner trims to fill the void between the flare and the body
Tyre position will change as I've yet to bolt up my wt diffs,
currently 15x8 rim with neg offset, but will be going to a narrower rim with possitive offset to keep it skinny
