Fender Flares

[UgaSux]

Should I have them painted to match the truck or keep em black?

 

[ventoracing]

go black for good contrast with the white body....

 

[UgaSux]

That's what I was thinking

 

[ventoracing]

Which fender flares did you go with? I myself hope to get a set of EGRs... the ones with the bolt on look.

I haven't purchased them yet but I'm wanting that kind also

I'm a fan of contrast on White, Yellow and Red Trucks

If you get the factory style flares, and leave them black, with a black front bumper I think it'd look mean as hell.

 

[quietpeen]

what kind of flares are you getting

 

[argray90]

Black and get the front and rear bumpers black as well. Great contrast!

Personally and its only my opinion (this goes for any flares)....I do believe black or color matching will go best.
But when I say black, I dont mean the ram/unpainted look)
Rather getting them paint Black, whether matte or gloss.

I have a few local trucks here that did just that and it looks amazing.
I will have to try and snap a few pics and post them up.

But Id say, color match. Your rims already give the contrast and do you want eyes to be dragged to the flares or to the wheels/truck?

Agree^

Color match looks best. Also having black flares makes your wheel wells look bigger making your wheel/tire combo look smaller. Looks like youll have a bigger wheel gap.

I'll go against the grain too. Color match for sure. Even when painted black I always feel that non-matched body parts look "slapped" on. Painting IS expensive as hell though. I matched mine and don't regret it at all. I like it when aftermarket parts appear stock though.

If you did go with black though, a well done matte/satin black would look awesome against the whitel. Maybe another consideration.

Colour matched

 

[nussdawg395]

Mine are color matched. But I'm black on black.
For white it can go either way but im really leaning towards the black.

I like the contrast of flat black. I have mineral grey with flat black flares. It compliments the trim, door handles, my black wheels and mirrors.

But, if you are going for a more sporty/sophisticated look, go painted. Flat black is more utilitarian, which is what I like. I do not like chrome anything either

Def. color match or no flares at all.

 

[mattman_13]

Agree with above. If they aren't painted they will be a grey not a black. If going through the trouble to paint them black might as well go ahead and match them. I personally see them un painted and think they had enough money for flares but not to do it right. Just looks unfinished and slapped together to me (I ran them unpainted for a month during winter) I hated it. You've got a nice truck, do it justice and paint them. Not meaning to sound ******* towards people who like them unpainted. Just wanting to back up my argument.

So I'm biased. My headlights, tail lights, windows, toolbox, spray in liner, third brake light, tail lights, antenna, and wheels are all black. But I got the painted fender flares because it just doesn't look finished to me when those are black.
