Silverado Wheel Flares Type & Color
Silverado (2000) 1/2T wheel flares seem to come:
1) As a dull black (on single color truck),
2) As shinny metal (on a single or two tone)
either:
a) the same color as the truck(single color),
b) the same color as the upper truck color,
c) the same color as the lower truck color.
I am getting conflicting info from dealers. Does
anyone know if the above is correct. I know the
option is B71 and then I assume the dealer enters
another option for type of flare and color. Any
thoughts or information would be appreciated.

P.S. The shiny ones are not metal, just shiny plastic (painted or color-molded, I don't know which).
And I have a 3/4 ..Black with Black flares
They are not shiny....but I wouldn't say they are dull either..
They match the bumper cover and rear bumper inserts.
I like them just the way they are.....wouldn't want a painted gloss black...on a black truck

P.S. I didn't know whether they were painted or molded, just one of the two. Thanks for clearing that up.
They only make the shinny painted flares in a few colors and are only available with certain colors. I find it hard to believe but they do not make them in shinny black. I saw the shinny black on a black and pewter (and it was really sharp), but the owner said he had them painted black after getting the truck. Its all personal preference as to whether you want the off road look or the street look.
I have questions about the tires. Are those the standard suspension tires or the off road tires? What kind are they?

I have a base white Silverado 1500 and I would like to install flat black flares to protect the fenders from road debris, but I plan to trade it in on a new 2001 when they come out and reuse the flares - don't want screw holes visible when I remove the flares.
Part Numbers 12495831_c and 12495830_c. I hope this helps.
The flares are secured on the body with use of plastic plugs and adhesive tape to body around wheelwell.

As for raynblab, you are WRONG about mOgAN_dAvIDh_man's rims, i'd LOVE to have those FORGED rims on the 1500 series (keep the CAST (read weakER)) rims ;P

it is unwieldy to manage, and difficult to use for "newbies". There is entirely TOO much topic duplication, so I will be doing some SERIOUS topic consolidation in the next few weeks, getting us down to not more than 2-3 topics per vehicle type, and ultimately down to 200 topics or less.
THIS weeks consolidation candidates are: F-150's, Silverado's, Dakota's, and Dakota Crew/Quad cabs.
In that vein, please consolidate this Silverado topic to Chevy Silverado - Continued IX and continue these discussions there.
Thanks!
