She has a Badlands with the stock OEM wheels (+55 offset). Note the poke with the stock wheel. These look to offer some style over the typical flare deletes. If someone kept the underside black where the clumsy round/square transition is made and painted the upper side body color, it may not look that bad. These certainly look better than the other aftermarket flare that attempted the square flare over a round hole recently.

Ford could have saved everyone the trouble if they had just made all the Broncos with the Everglades/Heritage fenders at the beginning…
I don't dislike the round, but I know in about 3-5 years I'll be scouring car-part.com for HE fenders and flares.

Fail.
Good idea, terrible execution.

Squaring the fender flares is a good idea, but doing it properly means squaring them and covering the curve (so cutting inside the curve). And it absolutely should next extend so far that you need additional cutouts to accommodate the fuel door. (Admittedly this will be a little more complicated to support those that like some tire poke.)

Ford spent years and millions in R&D. Trying to put a square peg in a round hole is nothing new.

This is a step in the right direction, but yeah... a little off. I like the flared look, as opposed to the flare delete. I also like a somewhat more square look (not Chevy pickup square, but maybe closer to the Everglades flares).
We'll see what further aftermarket support brings.

No one can really t
Haven’t seen this mentioned yet. Bestop posted a teaser of their new fender flares. Looks like they square out the standard round fenders/quarter and are meant to mimic the ‘66 accessory. From close they still have the round edge underneath - but, have the potential of a nice appearance. Looking forward to more photos and angles.

First look video:






Here are a few screen shots
The just responded to my comment that they can be removed just not as easily like the OEM flares. Looks like these will serve as a stylized flare delete providing slightly more coverage than just a flare delete. But also not providing flare coverage that the stock OEM flares provide. Those with Sasquatch will have much more of the tire exposed.
No one can really tell what these look like. We need a full side view to make a fair assessment.

Heading in the right direction. Square look, hide the round, provide adequate coverage for sasquatch (don't need kicked up rocks getting flung out)
