I like the look of stock flares...
but you could also get aftermarket flares, I personally think sans flares is not only ugly but stupid... Your going to get rocks and other debris thrown all over the place
Plus in Maine you have to completely cover the tires.

I legally have to have flares. i had mine off for a long while though and loved the look. if it wasnt for inspections i woulda kept them off.

however it was a pita keeping it clean this winter with the slush,salt, and road grime. i got dirty getting in it daily.
