Franco... just take the rear flaps off and just leave the front's only. Me personally the rears are a bit to much and Long unless they manufacture rears like the e65 that goes with the body than yes, but the fronts are just right! just my $0.02

WTH
I need all four on or all 4 off LOL

Keep them as for now, you need to protect fresh paint from road debris flying from wheels

Well if you decide to take them off sell me the fronts.

As a matter of fact when you have a chance can you take a pic of your car from the side?

It is a little late for you Franco but the flaps might look a little better had you sanded them smooth before painting. I ran into this with my Avalanche but like the rear sail panels as they are called I used prep sol as a lubricant to wet sand the plastic smooth. Then painted as normal for plastic. I did the same thing on the sail panels when I did those back in 2007 after buying the Avalanche new. After seeing the older models and the look of these as they faded from black to various shades of grey I knew I didn't want my that way. I also like the way the Caddie Escalade AST looked painted body color. I found out it was a lot of work in that case because of all the odd shapes - would not do it again but I do like the results...

I did the same on the flaps sanding off the Chevy bowtie emblems and the texture to a smooth finish...

Yo Franco, i removed my rears but left the front 1s on. Until i shave and shape the rears i wont put them on. The rears are too long

Rears are off but the fronts are too sexy to come off

That is a twin engine - one V8 and a V12 in reserve if needed!!!

The V12 was given to me - I stored for about a year then I gave it to Al Hefner at BMP Designs here in Tyler. He is going to use as a manikin for accessories in his showroom here. It was a good 120K miles engine that was just too good to tear apart and use for a coffee table and my wife said no way it's coming in my house.
