Color matched or matte black fender flares?

Fellow · Jan 16, 2015

I have found few threads on this topic, but I really needs pictures. Hopefully you will not consider this a repost.

I hate the grey color on the fender flares, front and rear bumpers.

I will put aftermarket front and rear bumpers (not now, but sure I will). So I will not change their color.

I would like to change the fender flares color. I am torn between color matched and matte black because I like both. The color matched makes the truck looks more expensive, while the matte black adds more contrast to the truck.

I have race red truck. I have found several pictures for color matched race red, but with no luck for the matte black.

What I am asking:

1. Answer the poll.

2. Post pictures for race red color matched or matte black fender flares. Emphasis on matte black. This will help me to decide.

3. Leave your comments about the two options for race red (color matched vs. matte black fender flares).

Many thanks.

Matte Black... glossy painted matching flares makes it look like a FX4 or a Jeep Sahara soccer mom lol

Matte black provides good contrast, which makes the already cool race red color stand out more.

The matte black with the red would look great. The matching paint would look like every other fx, and the other black on the truck would complement the fenders.

Anyone has a picture of a race red raptor with matte black fender flares?

I like the red on red, but if you are painting them black and the replacement bumpers the same, I would do them in semi-gloss black not matt black. Good luck, can't wait to see pics when you are done! I did my bumpers colour matched and wish I did my flares as well, hate the grey.

The problem that I like both. Really I cannot decide Thanks so much for your comments.
