Color Matched Or Not Color Matched? (pics included)

I prefer the contrast but to each his own. Sadly, color match makes it look like a normal F150.

Bumpers and flares are there to protect the paint not be the paint ! and will be the 1st parts you damage when driving your Raptor in bushes , off jumps, rock crawling and most deadly of all ... parking lots .

I like the color match on black... not on Leadfoot.... or probably other unique colors like Code Orange.
I think the brighter you go, the less you do... my $0.02

Color match = Mall Crawler

It can look okay and works on some colors. If you intend to off-road the Raptor I wouldn't do it. Those areas are plastic/matte finish for a reason. They tend to get abused out on the trail or road rash from dirt roads. You can run mud flaps but it might take away from the look your going for. That's my two cents but do what you like.

I’m fairly positive the flares are painted anyway.

This is a great debate of personal opinion...

My humble vote, Contrast

Starting to think I agree with color matching at least the skid plate to either the bumper color or paint color. Leaning towards gray

I agree if you do the fender flares and everything else you look like an XLT. I'm only thinking of painting the skid plate. Leaving all other gray contrast.
