well been thanking about painting the flares and the front valance and top plastic pice on the top of the back bumber all black. the grey is starting to fade and it dosent match any thing on the truck any more sense i have all black stuff on the truck. let me know what ya guys thank would you leave it are paint it??

 

my comp is wiggin' out..i'll let trevor post pics of our buddy Austin's 98 Xcab double lifted bright red truck.....black flares, black valence. then red flares, red valence so you can get a visual.(although, the second one mentioned includes a 01-03 front end and bumper swap. lol.)

 

PAINT IT!!! looks amazing. only thing is that it shows up any nicks and chips in the plastic. but its easy, hardes part is gettin the bastards off. i just did the flares, need to do the front valance and rear bumper pad. i used rustoleum plastic primer and gloss black rustoleum plastic spraypaint from rural king. worked great. if you have to cut the panel clips that hold the flares on you can get em at autozone for like 4 bux for 15 clips. it all changes the whole look of the truck. i was temped to leave em off completely, but the flares rubbed/scratched a big ring on all the fenders. plus the holes look stupid. lol

 

only 2 votes?? figured more people would have voted. geuss their going black

 

go black!

 

I would definitely paint them black. It would improve your trucks look 10 fold

 

Black! OEM Grey looks pretty ****ty on any color vehicle - Its a wonder that Ford only offers black ones on the FX4 or the brand new trucks o.o

 

i see a red door and i want it painted black
lol
and once you go black you never go back hahaha
no but seriously it'll look sick painted black
