Just finished color-matched parts on an XL RCLB. Great project! Curious on the fender flares and what decision you finally set on.
I'm gonna call the local Ford dealer tomorrow and see what my cost with my shop discount would be on the Air Designs ones through them, or if I just end up ordering them online somewhere. I think the Air Designs ones will work best for a lowered street truck.

My cost in the flares through my local dealer is like ~440, so looks like I'll order them there.

EDIT: Air Designs fender flares have been ordered!

Amazon STX grille with paint matched outer surround (on hand)
Putco lighted grille emblem with harness (on hand)
Aftermarket paint to match front bumper and paint matched OEM filler panel (on hand)
Paint matched OEM cab corner panels (on hand)
Aftermarket paint to match rear bumper and reverse sensor surrounds (on hand)

RK Sport front bumper splitter painted to match (ordered)
Air Designs fender flares painted to match (ordered)

Air Designs tailgate spoiler painted to match (haven't 100% decided on it yet)
Air Design cab spoiler painted to match (haven't 100% decided on it yet)
Saleen rear bumper diffuser painted to match (if I can get ahold of one)
Paint to match door and tailgate handles (not sure if needs to be OEM or aftermarket)

It looks like all of the Super Snake and Saleen body parts are unobtainium currently. The Saleen White and Yellow label tailgate spoiler is just the Air Designs one, with the Black Label one being their own custom fiberglass design that's listed on the website for $900.00, which I'm assuming isn't actually available for sale, just like their rear bumper diffuser. I haven't decided if I'm going with the Air Designs cab spoiler or another brand yet. The Black Label Saleen one is super cool, but again, they won't sell those parts separately.
