Paint matched LBB OEM mud/rock guards installed

[KLR X5M]

Finally got around to installing the oem m sport mud/rock guards that I had paint matched LBB. As I had cf side skirts I needed to trim the front ones through minor trial and error. Overall it came out better than I thought. How it helps to protect the rockers and doors remains to be seen but I'm hoping it will keep the sand blasting down.

Those look great!

Are these going to be one-offs or are you inclined to fabricate for others? Or can I just buy these?

If you're fabricating, very possible that I would grab a set because I literally just repainted my entire vehicle minus the roof... If I can buy them, please let me know where.

I could have my body shop paint and install these.

Let me know, thanks.

These are oem for f15 m sports. If you do not have cf side skirts then no custom work is required, just paint and install. These are the ones in bought.

Thanks for the info.

Low price if they're really OEM from Germany.

So they're hard plastic and not flexible rubber-type plastic? They look like they're hard plastic in your pics but almost rubber in the eBay listing.

The other weird thing is that your listing says that they don't fit the M, but this listing does - https://www.ebay.com/itm/264058831734 - and they're more money than you paid.

Assuming they're hard plastic, I may have to order a set.

Look great man! I'm still waiting for my carbon flaps to be done.

Are yours going to be about the same size or smaller you think?

They are plastic, but still a bit flexible, as you'd expect plastic to be. The link I sent you is the exact one I ordered, so can't speak for any other ones.

I think you mentioned that before too.

Are you going to make them available for us or will they be one-offs?

If you're fabricating for the rest of us too, I'm very interested.

Okay. They look great. My concern with paint would be that they deform and crack.

Good luck and keep us posted on how they hold up!

Once I have them fitted and looking sweet I'll make them for us.

Awesome, I'm very interested. Keep us posted man! Thanks

That could be an issue, if the paint isn't flexible enough to absorb a deformation and not crack.

They are just as rigid/flexible as the plastic front fenders or bumper.
