Also in a non-sas BL. I added the Mabbet flares as soon as they came available and it cut down on mud spray and rock throwing down my sides almost completely. Never bothered to up size the flares.
Opted for graphics on the side rather than PPF, so it's not complete coverage.
Not a paint thing...
But almost no dealer stocks the base price versions. I'd guess outside of us that really care any look at the differences, the Wrangler still just holds more cache in the public eye. Will take a long time to dethrone. I'm actually surprised the Bronco is as close as it is.
I haven't given much thought to upgrading plates that came with the Badlands, so this wasn't even on my radar. Focus has been on protecting suspension elements. If I'm running the 7MT, do I still need to be concerned?

My personal priority order...
Ability to drop the 4 door all the way back.
Remove the rear window without taking out the side windows.
I'm ok with keeping the logo, if you make it darker, off center, something more subtle.
Popping rear up like the OEM is more useful than I...
Plus, going from the +55 offset on my stock wheels to a 0 will still give me 2.2" poke from the non-sas fender. (I'm the type that diagrams everything out so I can visualize the impact of all the combos I'm considering.)
Changing wheels was on my radar, but more of a nice to have, being dictated by tires. 285 75R18 actually gets me a higher ride than the 315s do (only like .5", I know), lower rolling resistance, better on road manners, and higher downward force per square inch. If I was up north with deep snow...
I'm looking at finally upgrading my stock BL 33" to 35", but if I want to stay with 285s most of the options require 18" wheels. My current front runner is the Warn Jackhammer.
I drive a VB, and actively look for them. Probably the color I see the least. Eruption Green ranks pretty high. As does black and carbonized grey. I theorize that those two blend in with the sea of cars more, so unless you happen to spot the outline you'll overlook them.
Silver, white and red...
What kind of modification are we looking at? I gave up my Ford enclosure awhile ago to put in the jcr system, and missing the security when back windows are off. Did you add the lower jcr panels, or the upper cargo divider? I'm running the whole set.
I've got a recurring window issue that this doesn't fix, if anyone knows a different procedure.
Rear passenger window will go up, hit the top, and immediately roll back down. Regardless if it's auto-up or if I'm controlling height. Window reset doesn't work because of the auto-down when I'm...
