Flairs 4runner style ;) (56k grab a snickers)

recently i got some flairs for my 4runner, but then only installed the rear.

So, i finally installed the fronts, haha took long enough.

I decided to take some pics while driving around.

Enjoy, these were taken with our Leica.




before the flairs....









after installing flairs (and washed the truck)





























LMK what u guys think....

sharp looking flares... do you find they help keeping the truck clean and free of stone chips?

idk i had the stock mud flaps before that, plus the front have only been on since last nite.

In the back it covers the most of the rust up pretty good...

yea its a weird angle, because when i was editing the pics, i noticed that and went outside to check! also the lense is slightly wide angle, that might be causing it.

Here's the catch and downfall with bushwhackers. First off take them off every few months you'd be amazed how much crap piles up inside of them. I took mine off every couple months till recently where I put if off for about 9 months. When I finally took them off I had some nasty rust waiting for me in the rear fender well. They will also wear through the paint all the way around them from vibration and such. You will NEVER be able to take them off now without your rig looking like crap. I love the look mine has with the flares but I would never do it again to a rig.
