I've toyed around with the idea of putting flares on, but haven't made up my mind yet. They look great on your truck!

I think they look fine. Sure color match would look nice, but they actually match better w/out a color match. They accent your door handles, mirrors, wiper cowl and other roughened ABS plastic parts. The plastic parts are less maintenance than color matched items. I would love to paint all my plastic items ONLY because they are fading from the truck just being parked in the sun all the time, but I am hesitant because the labor to get them painted and the labor to continually keep up on the maintenance....wax...chips...and I have this major scratch fear....lol Plastic don't scratch easily at all. I especially like the ABS plastic parts for offroader guys. Gives that rough look where as everything painted in the woods looks like it may belong out on the street.
Just my .02
