Fender Flares or Not?

Tossing the idea around of removing mine. Not sure if it would look cleaner or make the truck look not as nice. What does everyone think. BTW, the tires/wheels on it now are temps, 38/15.50/20s will be on maybe next year.

Leave them on for two reasons..
1) It looks good with and helps to keep the side of your truck a little bit cleaner than if you took them off.
2) If you take them off, you will have little scratch marks where the top of the fender flare meets your body. The moron that had my truck before me took the fender flares off and there was an outlining of a fender flare above each wheel well.

Agreed on both those points as well as the fact that they will look good on there with 15.50's.
