Well, this is all Scotty's fault. In December he posted about a sale on Amazon for new flares.

Well, mine were getting a bit warn and I like to keep the van looking newish, so....
Anyway, I bought a set and finally got around to installing them.
So, I now have a used set that I hate to just toss. The only thing wrong with them is that the front third is sandblasted from tens of thousands of miles of dirt roads where the front tires threw back sand, etc.
This is the front before washing or cleaning up. It feels like 40grit sandpaper and gets sort of grey looking. If you wipe them down with something like Armor All, it turns them black again. Still rough, but look OK. I'm sure you could sand them down and paint them or probably sand them down with finer and finer sandpaper and then buff them out like new. Kind of like removing desert pin stripping from paint.
This is them washed and wiped down. The rear 2/3 is pretty much like new. The front third is rough to the touch and they do have four or five 1/16" screw holes in the back where I had mud flaps fastened.
These include all new mounting screws, edge trim, instructions, Bushwacker decals. They're even in the original box!! Woo, woo.
I'm going to limit this to picking them up in the Reno area. If I don't get any takers in the next few weeks, I'll consider shipping them. It's just a pain for me because of where we live.
So, anyone interested???
