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.
