Had flares on mine, liked them for awhile. Removed them and love it more, just looks cleaner and makes the truck look wider lol.
But when color matched the look good, like yours :thumbsup:

flares work better on the gmc's because they are a rounder body then the silvys.
when you have a HD hood on a gmc, you gotta go with flares

I think they were $120 for 5? It's just the flex lines for all four calipers, and the rear-centerline.
Hey now. Seeing le GF tomorrow, she has the camera. lol
Drove it to work today.. first time really out in traffic. Good stuff!
Pics coming soon, promise. Even though to me, it is unfinished.

I have those same calipers, rotors, and ss lines. Big improvement over stock. $ well spent. Plus coming already powdered looks so much nicer than painting them.
Yeah, I thought they were a good price. Basically a stock caliper w/ PC and a little better hardware.
The 2500HD calipers are 2 piston, but still pretty beefy. No worries here. Rotors look great.
It's a good time to update / upgrade since I had it all apart. Not racetruck, so didn't get the 3 piston upgrade.
I think my MGP caliper covers arrived today.. got that FedEx Notice.

Not bad, not amazeballs but ok. I'll see how they look.
Aluminum and Powder coated.
Was hoping they would not be too ricey. :bleh: I am going to drill out the engraved rivets and go from there.
But I think my PowerStop calipers that are already powdercoated will look better than these.
Maybe I will just sell them.

Wouldn't even bother, just run the calipers bare. Those are major rice :imo: Seen a few similar sets in person, def no bueno
I have seen a set in person on a camero and they were a little ricey to me. If it helps any it was also an old guy drivign the camero and it had lots of chrome.
lol not motivating me. :hahano:
Well, no matter.. plenty still to do to worry about that atm.
Rainy day. Got some craptastic GoBro snips but waiting for the sunny weather in the morning.
Only thing I did to the truck was finish fastener installation on front fenders.

Big Red - Photoshoot at Fort Popham
No chance to edit these yet, but here are some of the best shots. It was a beautiful day today. Enjoy.
I'll have a few more along with a couple quick video clips tomorrow, but I figured these would do
