Painted Sasquatch Fender Flares & Wildtrak Grille -- finished & installed

[Lowcountry Bronco]

What wheels are those? I’m having trouble matching them up with the Rays website.

Updated with finish and installed photos:

I'm extremely pleased with how it turned out. To me it looks more complete with painted flares.

Original post 9/16:

Just picked up my sasquatch fender flares painted in Race Red as well as my wildtrak
grille painted in gloss black. Turned out super nice and shiny!

Your Paint & Body Shop knocked this out of the park. That is some quality work.

OBX non-SAS….and you get the painted mirrors as well.

This is a really clean setup. I like it a lot!
Love the Rays wheels. I have TE37SL on my GTI at the moment. I'll be selling it when my Wildtrak comes in.
I was looking to see what wheels you have on the M3 too. I've race BMWs for quite a while (335 and Spec E36/46).

I have tE37s OGs right now in mag blue on my e46 m3. Te37s are timeless. Can't go wrong with rays. 57drx come in at 22 pounds I believe

Thanks. Yeah they did a really good job. Paint match was on point. He stated that there are only one shade of Race Red so it should match perfectly

The difference is that those are standard flares, not the Sasquatch flares. Sasquatch flares don't come painted.

Nice! I am considering the Volk TE37XT M-SPEC for my Wildtrak.
The weigh 17lbs., which is about half as much as the factory SAS wheels.

I'm not sure if I'm going to go with a simpler look (like yours) or go with a custom beadlock look wheel from Litespeedracing.com. I have two sets of wheels from them. Can get a set of four custom designed forged wheels for about $5k. I'm not sure I want to spend that much though on an off-road rig. My 911 and wife's X3 are a different story.

I think that is the point. If your use case is pavement, get a non-SAS OBX that includes painted flairs, and you don't need SAS. If you plan on non-pavement, the painted flairs will quickly get beat up. Or you would need 2 sets to swap back and forth.

I originally wanted to get the te37xts for the bronco because of the weight. I like the design of the 57drx better because it nearly resembles the design of te37sl. and the price difference of course. Nice cars by the way!

Yes I got two sets I can swap out if needed. I know what you mean though

Planning on doing the mic top next

I have the Rokblokz standard flares on my non SAS Badlands, and the IGA bolt on steps strategically placed forward of center on the rock sliders to hopefully take the big chunks before the door does. I still end up with sand and crud on the front edge of the rear flares. I’m satisfied with the protection and aesthetics of my setup, but my flares aren’t painted. I may upgrade my rock slider steps to full length at some point for more protection. Maybe the XL mud flaps would be better for the OP.

I might go this route

thanks bro

Paint the grill BRONCO letters to red that matches your paint.
I think that will make it stand out a lot more.

The black on black letters looks stealthy, though personally I like some contrasts.

How are the painted MIC Sasquatch flares holding up? Any issues so far? Thanks.
