I think either will look good since you've got the red-black two tone look going for you. My personal preference has always been to color match them though personally.

I'd say body color, if you do them black - it will blend the vents with the side/rear windows and make them look like one long piece.

After some quick playing in paint, I am leaning towards black. I don't think the red looks right unless anyone would like to change my mind. here are a few pictures if anyone wants to try to chop in some red pilars...

With the long rear windows and painted black I don't think yours would look right.

This is how my tails look now, that would be the color if I do it. Would it be too much red though?

i sat black on your truck because the red looks sporty not rugged like the rest of your truck

I am leaning toward black too. I parked my truck right in front of my office today so I could think about it all day. I went into microsoft paint and oclored it it and it is just not working for me in red.

Painting mine a gloss black! I feel with that red, and the black wheels and grill, its a tough call!
