    • I've contemplated blue bumpers, fender flares I painted blue but they're too bulky. Instead I just picked up inche & a half black wheel well trim for contrast. I have a TRD pro grill on back order. When it does arrive I may paint the bulge & end caps blue leaving the grill black, but now I'm thinking platinum black grill vs TRD....... black or blue they both look good

    What's the verdict Areith??????

    Black rims and flares makes a moreagreasive flow.

    Blue painted flares will look factory and show clean lines

    If keep black flares, then do black grille to show out...

    The majority says paint blue. I might wait till I have a different grille on there first to see how it looks with black flares. But I am leaning towards painting them.

    Leave them black....goes with your mirrors and door handles. Just get your grill black and it would be sick.

    what did you use to color match your bumper caps? And, is that an illusion or did you paint the mini grill on your valance?

    i voted black but after seeing this truck above i'd like to change my vote.

    Wait a minute....the one below looks sick too! I'm torn now. I'm glad it's your decision to make. maybe keep them black until you want them blue

    That's a tough one. It looks good both ways....glad my truck is black, if I get flares it won't make much of a difference.

    Here is the deal.
    Stick em on black. Stare at it for days. Envision mods added. Drive around town like Arnold in Terminator. Look at some trucks with black stock added.

    Then go back and look at your truck.......

    After all that and more, you will most likely prefer Blue.......
