Fender Flares: Color Matched or Black

Real important stuff here, fellas.

My plan is to have a color matched 95-97 grille surround (with black grille interior).

Eventually get either an 01-04 bumper/valence or a 95-97, and color match the upper part (normally chrome) and blacken the lower part.

And I'm definitely painting my wheels flat black.

I also plan on getting sliders, black obviously, which would break up the color matched flares/body

So I am wondering if I should restore my fenders to black or go with color matched

Both of these photos have had some photoshop done to them, so use your imagination

Color matched:



Black:

 

black. definitely black.

 

That's a tough one, but I THINK I'm leaning more toward color matched

 

definately black, for me.

 

Oh and I believe it'll go great with that color matched 95.5-97 grille

 

Funny, most of the comments say black, but the poll numbers definitely say color match. And as for me, color match. I think with the wheels and sliders done it black, it'll look sexy.

 

That's how I'm leaning.

I'm also probably going to do an all black bumper too.

I keep passing a 97 Sunfire Red tacoma that has a sick custom front and rear bumper, color matched flares and black wheels...

Looks so mint.

I always want to flag him down and talk to him about his rig (perfect lift and stance IMO). You can tell he put a lot of thought, and probably money, into his truck

 

Black for sure.

 

take em off!

Mine looks sweet without that crap on it

 

I like how the Color match looks

 

Matched.

 

Black...in fact I am having my 2009 flares painted black next month!!!

 

I vote black. thinkin with your wheels and tires and future sliders the black would look best

 

Black. Gives the truck some contrast

 

Black would definitely give contrast as someone else already said- I think It ties nicely between sliders to bumpers.

 

I voted color matched. Imho from a distance black flairs make the wheel well area look huge.

 

Like black, matches the window trim and tires.

 

I voted color matched, but after seeing your new grill and bumpers I think doing the flares in the same black will tie everything together nicely. Thats what I did with my MGM and I like it.

 

X2 color matched!!!

 

matching paint looks better IMO

tho' black is easier to maintain
and doesn't look as obvious when it gets scuffed up.
