I've had a set of Black OEM fender flares sitting here for almost a year now. I was so busy during the year I only have "test fit" to see if I liked the black or was going to paint them to match the truck.
What do you think black or get them painted true blue to match the truck?
I'm thinking about adding some more black to the truck anyways.

I go with painting them they would look better and not take away from the look of the truck the black just looks like you did not want to mess with it. And that is a great looking truck so I vote paint.

Like on this truck...I like them in black....I may do something like that, but with blue instead of red obviously.

I would paint them blue. That way they will match the door mouldings. Although, that red truck does look good.

I like 'em black, but I'm going through this stage right now where I hate anything chrome (not that the blue is chrome, just diggin' blacked out rigs these days)...
One question though, why put 'em on? I can't imagine they'll perform any protection or is this just something new to put on the truck? On or off, painted or black, it'll still look good!
Man I love that truck, so clean..

Just something new I got them on a trade from a customer that I sold some shock clamps to. He had a truck with the lower black two tone, so that's why they are black.
I've debated selling them as well.
I like the OEM flares on our F-150s, that's why I picked them up for the SD (I have 2 sets...the other for my 07).

I have pondered that question myself because I too own a true blue sport and want to install fender flares. I think black would be better exspecially if you are keeping the truck mostly chrome free. My decision factor also lies with the possibility of having to paint the bumper skirting as well from the winch mount up front but seeing your truck with the black confirms that yep I'm going with black. And let me add that is one awesome looking truck you have there.
