Are you going to extend your flares with printed mud flap caps?

Thank you sorry for bumping an old thread and hijacking it to talk about my truck, but i haven't been on this forum in a long time. it took a lot of work to get it clean actually! it's got 190k miles and when i got it it had a death wobble on freeway due to rotted bushings, i replaced them all and the ball joints along with sealing off all the leaks, cam seals, oil cooler, oil pan, valve cover, main seal were all replaced. Then i polished the paint and shampooed the carpets completely. It's completely restored to a new condition.
I bought it from someone in the city who i assume only drove around in it at city speeds. The engine got poor mileage when i got it but after a new fuel filter and injector cleaners the thing averages 16-17MPG!
Basically saved this truck from being junked. Totally worth it.
Funny you mentioned the 3D printed fender caps, i downloaded the STL file for those to see if i could print it out of my own 3D printer but they were just a little too big... and the 80$ pricetag for em i can't really justify cause it's only a few bucks in plastic and maybe an hour of labor to clean it up and paint it.. But since it's missing the rear mudflaps, i'm considering the bushwaker flares which are also really expensive. I did pick up some 2016-2020 16'' TRD tacoma aluminum rims for it cause i like how it will look with the black and white.
Some of my future plans for the truck are:
-4X innovations rock sliders
-265/75/16 BFG KO2's
-Bilstein 5100s
-Roof rack and storage system.
and i was highly considering the TRD tundra lift but I'm not too sure about it.
