Paint the flairs.

I realize most guys go with the "out of the box" look, but the body looks much cleaner with color matched wheel openings.

well i sent him a picture of the orange bronco and said like that but with a lexus dark titanium. i also told him to paint the grill and bronco on the tailgate with SEM hot rod black. i left it up to him on the top wether it be gloss or SEM hot rod black pending what he thought at the time. i think i could go either way so i guess i'll be suprised. we'll see what i get back, lol.

I don't mind you showing it at all. I left the whole grill area the same as the body color. I am planning on getting some FORD emblems and getting them powder coated black as well.

your rig is looking great man, are you goin to have hard doors and top as well? or leave it open. i have the door inserts too, he's goin to paint at the same time so i can go back and forth. sounds like our trucks are goin to be twins, only diference being mine will be a little darker, other then that your specs are pretty close to mine.
