    I voted color match with your main paint color it seems to look cleaner. Now I have Smoked Mesquite, which is pretty close to black, I'd like to see what black and color matched would look like on my paint scheme. Go Beavs!

    I like matte black on white Tundras (Storm Trooper style), otherwise color matched! ...although black has a more off-road look to it.

    switch back to chrome all around and do chrome flairs with chrome ventvisors. Nobody will have that. :rofl:

    My vote is color match.

    However at any point you are thunking line x on all your black parts, that would look ba man. :muscleflexing:

    I vote for OE style black fender flares. If you go off-road they'll get scratched up and I think that they would go well with how your bumpers look.

    You already have everything contrasting in black, might a well go all the way. You wouldn't notice the fender flares if they were color matched.

    Wish I could tell you. I bought the truck as you see it. Still trying to identify all of the add-ons. Sorry.

    Color matched for sure in my opinion. Black flares from a distance makes a truck look like it has tiny tires with a huge void in the wheel well.

    So this might be a loaded question but which brand of flare do ya'll recommend ? On my '07 I think I bought some middle of the road ones for like $280 and can't remember which brand but I'm looking at the Bushwhacker for $450(ish) unpainted.

    Are there any other brands that would get your vote ? I do need probably 1 - 1.5 inches of extra coverage since my tires stick out a bit and this Vermont mud likes to fly a bit.
