Sorry, I couldn't find any pics of it when I had them off. It was a while ago.

If you have some aggressive tyres u could consider terrafirma set from BA. Way cheaper than OEM and at first they looked way bulbous but after a while I’ve really grown to like them. Wouldn’t suit stock wheels that well.


Stock refinished



Terrafirma (screw in and caps got siliconed)

Thanks for all the responses and added option for bacon. I chose bacon bc i'm split.

My D2 is White with stock 18" wheels and 275/70/18 BFG KO2s.

I do like the look of Silver one posted above. Looks good.

I voted for repainting even though bacon sounded just as good.
Remember to sand them down before painting.

Against my religion but I love crispy bacon in a roll. But my gummy wheel arrived today so now I'm going naked and fender flareless now.

Prefer the naked look but the design of the D2 flares do provide some protection to the inner fender lip against stone chips etc. Mine were repainted by previous prior to purchase using that rubbery paint and now peeling. I'd have prefer to have had the faded look. To paint right involves removal, reinstall and a bit of time involved.
