Ya, that's a big NO for me. Those things will get scratched/nicked up in a heartbeat even from road debris. And I think it looks worse than just wrapping or coating the raw plastic. I fully embrace the aggressive look of the OEM big wide black flares...it's the Warthog dammit. I want people to look, even if they dislike the design...they will still look.
 
I do like the painted door handles, surprisingly not the flares.
 
I just picked up my Hot Pepper red Raptor this week. Looking at the photos above, from the side the color looks good but does anyone else see that from the front the color is off and doesn't match???

I don’t think so. I think it’s just lighting. If you look at the very front tip of the fender that’s in the shade, it seems to match perfect
 
I was set to color match the flares; however, now that I've owned a black Braptor for almost a month, I'm beginning to think it's pointless. The black body essentially blends into the flares so I don't believe painting them gloss black to match the body will make that much of a difference.
