i agree with you on that. I think it looks good PTM on bright colors like Silver or White, and darker colors like Magnetic and Black. Blue's and Red just look weird in my opinion
Id have to disagree on the red looking weird.. but to each their own. I think some colors class it up a bit. Such as the metallics. The Flats id probably leave black, reminds me too much of bushwacker flares.

I think with a lot of the colors all the black trim makes the truck too busy and cheapens the look. I agree with you that the Painted fenders helps it look more polished.

I did see this Gen 2 on IG though that did a good job of using the Gray bumpers and fenders and make it look 2-tone and considered this another option.

The official color of the Raptor trim pieces on a Gen 2 is Flat Magnetic, not black. I went with Magnetic for my Gen 2, so I would NOT have to color match them like I did on my Tuxedo Black Gen 1. As others have said, with all of the trim pieces in a different color, the truck looks a little busy when they are not color matched.

Everything matched, down to the grey on the wheels.

I agree with TXRaptor on the Magnetic color. I recently put on a middle hood graphic thats also Magnetic and if you couldn't see the satin finish on it you'd never know it was there and it allows for a more subdued look for later mods if the subdued look is what your into.
But as far as the color/fender/trim choices go its kinda like tire or rim types; Whatever floats your boat, its your truck.

Yea I meant Gray, for some reason I typed black first and then typed gray in the next sentence. :cheers:

I like color matched trim as it just makes things look cleaner IMO I even did this on my old FJ.

The Silver Gen 2 I post though made the gray trim look good by adding the stripe along the door that matches.
