    This is a tough one. Black flares on white looks good if u have all ur other parts blacked out. Handles bumper caps etc. but then white on white looks clean as well. Decisions decisions lol one thing I recommend is paint ur bolts black before putting on the flares or order powder coated ones.

    My opinion would be to paint them.

    I think fender color depends on what color any other add ons are...wheels, bumpers, if the windows are tinted dark, any black emblems or graphics, etc.
    I always look for balance in the artistic makeup of the vehicle as a whole.

    That being said, I went with black textured...though I also textured my grill surround and bumper caps to match.

    I have a super white too. Used to have a Tacoma trd pro that was the white and everything else was blacked out - looked very good especially with the red from the trd decals. Like you - I want to put the flares on too - but with the white and chrome on this truck - think I'll go white or maybe even a chrome wrap on the flares.

    A little of this and a little of that.
    My vote for flares would be black on a white truck...

    White truck with white grill, bumpers etc. I would say continue the white theme and paint them white.
    If you are not into the all-white and you have a chrome or black grill, bumpers, mirrors, door handles, etc. then keep them black to continue that theme.

    My vote is black on white as well.

    Hey, how far out do your wheels stick from the fender (what you have now?). I like how yours stands and am curious what kind of offset that is.

    Put them on for a week or so and if you don't like them black paint them white.

    It’s 1 inch outside fender. I have stock Suspension suspension so this is the best I could do with stock. Tires are 275/55/20 Toyo open country and wheels are 20x9 Moto Metal 0 offsets. I am going to install level kit latter and then I might switch to 20x10 with -44 offsets and 33 inch wheels. But for stock it’s best set up and no issues at all.

    I kinda like that idea. I am also thinking to black plastic dip my front end caps. How did you textured your grill surround and caps?

    I would stick with either white or black. I think chrome would be little off.

    Someone traded this in at work. The painted flares look better in person than in photos. Hope I'm uploading the pic right.

    I used Krylon brand bedliner, preceded by a self etching primer.
    I tested a few other bedliners first, but it was the one whose color and texture matched everything best.

    I didn’t even have to remove the bumper caps.
