i say black flares would look sick.

But whatever color you paint the pad do the same on the valence.
Dont do black and white like you had on the photoshop.

Ya usually I will do a lot better job but I had Photoshop on my other computer and now I have GIMP on my new laptop which has a wacom digitizer touch screen so I am just messing around with it until I can figure everything out. Side note, I picked up some flat black Kryon fusion and Matte clear so I am doing one fender flare right now to see how it looks
