Default Fender Chops on White Jeeps - Keeping the Skirts in the Rear?

Hey guys,

Weather is getting nice out, and I need a project. I've been hemming and hawing for over a year on trimming the flares, and primarily because I just don't know what to do about those damn skirts. I've searched the site enough to learn that the fronts are pretty straight forward on trimming the existing skirts, but most people with darker jeeps opt to just remove the skirts from the rear. I fear that will look kinda silly with a white jeep, so I wanted to see what others with Storm Troopers have done about their skirts after they trimmed the flares? Pics are welcome as well as what you did, etc.

Thanks!

Trimmed the fronts. Pulled the rears and used flat black spray paint.

Works for me

Added Pics....

This. Here's a pic for the rear, pulled liners and hit with black spray paint. Don't mind the tiny tires. Click image for larger version

I kept both front and rear liners, didn't see a reason not to. They can only add more protection!

I bedlined anything white under the flares with rustoleum spray truck bedliner. Have gotten a lot of compliments on the outcome, been stopped a few times by people asking who makes the fenders, lol!
