I think the black flares would look better if the truck was silver, red or white.

I think the black looks good with the rim choice you have. Man, I wish mine looked that good. Maybe when a bag of cash falls on my head.

I think black, but paint them and they will blend in with the truck, and most people wont even know they are there... if thats what you want them paint them

Another vote for painting them, I believe they would look more "custom" painted, Unpaint just an Add-on

I sold the flares...they came off a truck with the lower black two tone so that's why they were painted black and they are going on a black truck.

I voted to paint them blue since the bumper is blue. If the bumper was black then black flares would look better, IMHO.

Edit: Moot point since you sold them!

I like them either way but if it were me I'd paint them! The only reason that I see is, the black looks cool but not that noticable on the blue. It matches the rims nice, but you don't see it that well against the blue. So paint them to match and they will look good plus match your door handles. Just my $.02 though. Good luck!

Nope, I've never really been a fan of fender flares. I like the OEM Ford ones or the ATS Design ones.

I did have a state trooper that didn't like the fact that I didn't have flares though....
