    I've been thinking about painting the flares black, but I'm on the fence. What do you think?

    @monkeyevil I love the Bronze Mamba's! Good choice on the wheel man! I put these on a 2012 rubicon and they are tight! Nice truck!

    Oh, also, I vote black!

    If you're on the fence about it, spend an afternoon with a can of plastidip. If you don't like it, just peel it off.

    With that blue and those bumpers. Dang I love that lift and set up. looks like you swapped out your Ridgegrapplers for some mud. more I look at it I don't know that blue on blue is clean looking.. man hard decision...either way it looks great but I am now leaning toward leave it blue

    Swap them for some OR flares or leave them blue.

    black cusi have a white pro and the black accents are what makes the truck, appearance-wise at least. i think the black is just as good on your blue.

    Blue without a doubt in my mind. It looks SO much cleaner. Black doesn't necessarily look bad, but doesn't flow as well as the blue.

    Yup. They look like they need the offset to my eye. Don't get me wrong, they look sharp now! But you have more than enough of the gorgeous blue on that truck to warrant the offset.
    EDIT-but if you do this, they have to match the finish of the bumpers. No gloss.
