    Hey. got a '10 Taco. double cab, white, i have a few other threads on here going, so you may have seen it. well next step is adding fender flares due to tires sticking out pretty far throwing rocks up and down my doors.

    My question is should I have these painted to match color? or leave them the flat black they come? My rims are also black, however, I dont really care for the white taco's with the black fender flares of the past. would the more aggressive flares with my 20'' black rims look better black or should i spend the couple hundred dollars to paint em? thanks!

    make sure the aftermarket fender flares stick out further from stock. I know another member who got some thinking they would provide more coverage but they provided the same amount.

    I think color matched looks much better.

    here's what my truck looks like now...

    and its not that I dont want them black. I'm just not sure how they'd look.... I'll leave em black when i get em on and if I dont like em I can always get em painted.... I think thats the route I'm gonna head..
