I have a lead foot ‘18 color matched. Love the look and makes the truck look “brooder” imo. But again, that’s simply my opinion. They will eventually rock pit and require touch up every few years. If the “used” off-road look doesn’t suit ya, maybe simply have the fenders wrapped. Much less expensive and easy to touch up in future‍

The contrasting trim is one of the primary aesthetics for our trucks. The only “monochromatic” look I dig is the magnetic gray paint that mostly matches the trim in color but not sheen. Loved my magnetic Gen 2. Called it my stealth Raptor, as I ran into quite a few people that would say, “man that thing looks mean….a lot like a Raptor!”

That being said, I really like the contrast of the trim with the leadfoot and won’t be changing it whenever my Gen 3 shows up.

You could always experiment with different wraps on the bumpers/flares….but It’s your coin, you do you.

Just found a color matched code orange. I dig everything except the grille. My wheel choice would also be different.
