They're the flexi-flares from Paddocks in the UK, about $350 delivered. They're not as close a fit as the LRA flares but they don't crack when you hit something. :p

The lift is just 2" with extended Pro-comp shockies (again, from Paddocks for around $250 delivered).

I also have the LRA ones on my 2 door. I run 35s with a 3" lift and they're still just inside the guards.. I've hit plenty of trees and rocks with them and they haven't busted... the panels on the other hand.....

Both of my rear LRA flares have cracked however they are still in one piece (or 2 if you want to be pedantic).

A bit of paint and fibreglass bandage on the inside and they are strong as ever. Should last as long as the car.

Obviously I only have front ones but it gives you an idea.
