Default Photoshop help - pocket style fender flares on truck

I'm hoping someone with photoshop skills could take the following pictures of my truck and tell me what they would look like with Matt Black bushwacker style bolt on fender flares. If it looks ok I'll go wiht the matte black, if not I'll order them the color of the truck (aspen Green). I have some rust around the fenders that I want to cover up with flares.

Can't help with photoshop. But if you are going to put on fender flares, get wider tires and or wheels spacers to push the stance out.

Nothing looks like a more amateur hour, Canadian Tire calibre mod.... than a set of beefy flares, with stock skinny stance. For every inch of flare, you should add 2 inches of offset IMHO.

If you do it, go with the lower accent color, would look better.

Sorry I only had time to do the one view. But if you hold your laptop up to a mirror it should be accurate as to both angles.

With your colours, I would colourmatch. If you get black ones I'd re-paint your whole lower quarter black

Yeah they look goofy on a stock truck. Think this is with a 2WD,but still. Definitely do a level and some bigger tires.

yea I'm thinking colour match as well. I'm not sure what colour though.

Hopefully someone on here could do an actual photoshop that would show me what it would look like with the Green and also the lighter colour.

I'm planning on installing a 2.5" strut levelling kit on the front and some bigger tires and rims (not sure what size yet though)

I currently have these on http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....rtnum=57SR7KO2
but they need to be replaced anyway

This is the one I just got. Can find them a few bucks cheaper on ebay. Install is a breeze

Here's some good info on tire sizes and fitment

Did you want lens flares or emergency flares?

Oh god....that's a truck foul. The only possible scenario I can think of is that truck is owned by a mid-west canola farmer, his wife gave those to him for x-mas, and instead of being cut off of he just ok'd, put them on, and placed a paper bag over his head every time he got 3 blocks from home.
