Stickem on your neibors car and don't look back
First you'll lose your mind
then any free cash laying around
Awesome mods will bloat your credit limits
Acting like a crack addict, refinancing your home, farm out the kids......
You'll cry yourself to sleep, stuff like, must get new rims.
Lift it skyward or drop it like it's hott.
Important questions like, polished or chrome, will shadow you day and NIGHT.

personal preference man. I'm not crazy about them but it's your truck.  Get rid of either those or the pinstripe. It looks too busy to me with both.

I agree; if you like them that's fine, but it's not my cup of tea. If you're going to keep them, I'd lower them.

I agree with lowering them, and they aren't "working" with the pinstripe.  The pinstripe needs to have about a 1/4" gap instead of running right up to the vent IMO.

I agree with all of the above the placement just doesn't look right, lower probably would look better.

I agree lower them and maybe try them flipped. Flat side towards the front and taper towards rear with longer side on top?

my problem with them .... I like the real ones .... they sit into the fender way better and are functional ... the fake one stick out to far ..... they just don't look good in my opinion .... makes it too easy to catch something on it ....

but if I had to pick ... I'm with the others ... lower them a little bit ....
