His flares are custom as i quizzed him about them a while back, there arent many choices either the LRA ones or custom.

Paddock in the UK has some very nice FLEXIBLE flares that don't shatter when hit like the Fiberglass ones I had from Rangie Spares...

or you can go the flexi flares for about $50 and fit them yourself.

Takes some balls to trim the rear doors though depending on how much trimming is needed.

There is a good write up on it on here I think it is. Worked well on my disco.

I used the Clark rubber jobs that screw on from the outside and mount flat to the guard flush,. Total cost was about $90 all up (about 6 meters did the 4 guards).

Each to there own, they do the job so that's good enough for me :D
