That’s great looking. Personally, I think the matte makes all the difference in why I like this so much. On a side note, do you have a lift on that? I have a badlands non sas on the way that I plan to put 35s on with only a 1” level.

Thanks yes I agree has to be matte. Your plan should work I have 37's with just a 1" Zone level
with no rub but I have -1 offset wheels without that I think it would probably rub the wheel
well liners.

That looks sick! Imagine a hard top in carbon fiber with SAS flares to match. That would be over the top.

Thanks, Carbon fiber top would look great but I can't even imagine what that would cost.

Thanks, The wrap was only $25.00 and I put it on myself.

What offset are those zephyr wheels ?and I assume 35 tires what kind?

Been going back and forth between those and the fuel covert wheels was thinking -12 offset wasn’t sure I have a non sas badlands though so it’s almost lifted like a reg sas

you think a pro shop could/WOULD wrap my flares in clear PPF to protect fro nicks and staining etc? thoughts???

PPF is available in carbon fiber and can be installed on plastic flares. I had my plastic grill done in CF PPF on my Tesla. It looks better in person.

First I painted my flares to match my grill that I painted satin black. I really liked the way the grill looked as opposed to the stock grey
so I thought the flares would look good to but after putting on the truck didn't like the way satin looked so I wrapped them.

Here's the way the looked painted

I have never wrapped anything before and to me this was pretty hard to do i cut into 9" x 60" strips and placed on top of the flare working down on side then the other. the strips kept wanting to move to the back of the flare not leaving me enough to cover the front side but I eventually got it to work.
Doing it this way it was very hard to wrap the front face but Got it with a little heat and a lot of patience. Probably should have bought enough to cover the face
of each flare and then pulled it over the top.

Here is what they looked like before I painted them very stained.

Here's what they looked like after lots of sanding.

If anybody is going to try this I would not try to wrap the the flares if they weren't painted I don't think it would stick.

Here is a link to the vinyl I picked it is a matt carbon fiber.

If I did it this way again I would by a 48" x 60" giving me a 1 foot strip for each flare.
Here are some more pics of the finished project

Nice save!

Okay, You put it out there for people to comment on so I will. Real carbon is AMAZING looking. Even when a part is made to have a carbon look, that's fine. BUT I've seen things like this in person and it looks so cheap. So maybe I'm the odd one out but this gets a from me.

FYI, you are right to not care. It's your Bronco so just blow off my comment. Love the wheels and tires.
