I dunno....that thing looks pretty bad-azz to me..... especially for a moar door. I don't mind the different front/rear flare design. I actually think they should be different, makes it more visually interesting.
There are three problems going on with the fender flare design. 1) The front and the rear flare angles are mismatched and make them look like they came from different vehicles. The front flare is almost square, heritage-style and the back is half round and half WTF? 2) That back corner on the rear flare is simply an awful attempt at a solution. They were probably constrained by the rear door handle position, but still. Every single aftermarket fender design is better. And 3) the flares and integrated mud flaps look like a bandaid fix. Couldn’t this just have been addressed with a better design in the first place, instead of having to pin additional flaps onto the already gigantic flares?
Paint-matched (and black) helps a lot, as it makes these miscues harder to see, but it’s still ‘ooof’ — a big swing and a miss. I predict when the Bronco line finally gets a substantial appearance refresh these flares will be gonzo. Collectors, get ‘em now!
The sad part is it’s 90% bad-azz, and 10% ‘were those designers blind?’ So close, yet so far. ;-)I dunno....that thing looks pretty bad-azz to me..... especially for a moar door.

Sorry Thomas, for your opinions, I'm gonna hafta give you the official look of disgust....
Raptor for the win!
