I decided that I want to put aftermarket fender flares on my Colorado so that when I do put wider and taller tires on I will have the extra protection in place. Also the roads in Winter here in Ohio get slag/salt/sand spread on them so the added protection will help even before I put bigger tires on. What I am looking for is some help on either smooth or textured flares.
Will the textured be hard to clean the mud off of?
Will the smooth scratch easily?
I am Not planning on painting them, I want the black look.

My opinion is smooth and painted with flat black. Otherwise the sun will turn the plastic powdery and ugly.

Are your graphics glossy or matte/satin? I'd stick with one theme. If they're glossy go glossy, matte go matte

Thanks Rock, Never thought of that.
