Just thought of it now, but if you actually trimmed the black section off it would look pretty good too.

Have any other pics of your flareless setup?

You can take about another inch off all around the wheel well before you will run into issues with panel separation. I eventually will be getting full corners, likely river raider, with no flare and will be trimming the sheet metal up as high as possible.

I followed a guy with no flares to the beach on a rainy day and couldn't see anything. It was very annoying. I had to pass him... I could tell it was pissing drivers off.

It only rains a few days a year out here and when it does, no one drives faster than 50 mph. I actually know how to drive in the rain so there will be no one close enough for me to be a nuisance

HAHA!! Good point... I like the look. I really wasn't sure how the rocks and junk would be coming of the tires at high speed with no fenders.

I'd imagine that the outcome cant be good, but I'm not overly concerned. These MTR's dont seem to pickup nearly as many small rocks and crap as my old KM2's.

There's a set in the sale section. Dude wants $275.

Edit: sorry, I just looked and it's actually for sale on WOL forum
