I don't care for them. Certainly don't like the gloss carbon fiber (which is probably essentially fake)
They would look better with huge tires but even with this design language I don't really care for them. On 37" tires the lh look absurd.

The flares need to be removable and flexible. They also need to be 4" shorter (or more) to reduce trail damage.
Those would be perfect on a Mall crawler.
Agreed they are impractical for the trail. I am saying more on shape vs that blobular ugly rear quarter look we have now.

At least it’s one piece under the tail lamp unlike Ford and ADV fiberglass fenders. Gas door isn’t would fly with me.

Are the entire rear quarter panels any harder to remove than just the rear flare? Last time I checked it was held on by like 20 bolts.

I feel like gassing it would scratch it up, or maybe my local pump handles hang lower than average. Also, I'd be worried about water pooling in the base of the access door cutout.

You guys worried about trail damage do realize the braptor is not a rock crawler but a baja racer design just like the f150 raptor and soon to be ranger raptor. Very much in the tradition of the Big Oly bronco.

While I disagree - see the BRaptor as unique from the Raptor because it is designed to do both from the factory. But even if we go with the it’s just a desert runner, do you kick up gravel into the flairs at speed?
