A bit disappointed with those fender flares was created by mxman

Hi all,

I watched this video on youtube because I am lifting my Jimny to 31'', and wanted some fender flares:

I bought them off ebay (same kit that Jimnybits is advertising to be available in November) but noticed that the side skirts are not included in the kit.

Now the whole thing looks incomplete, and I am quite disappointed. Does anyone came across the same issue? If so, what solution did you have?

I believe these are specifically designed for the jb23
which as different body trim to our jb43
I would say remove the sill cover to make it look better

You could try rock sliders to "fill the gap". Functional and may aesthetically improve the look joining front to back. Down side is added cost.

If I am not mistaken, the person from the video you posted had the same kind of disappointment. He went on to post a follow up video where he removes the side skirts and envelops it in matte black vinyl. It does complete the appearance quite a bit.

Thanks to all.

I actually found the missing pieces on Ebay Germany. They suit and look better.

If anyone interested, go to ebay.com and type:
"For Suzuki Jimny 2007 - 2018 Wheel Arch moulding Side Skirt Black ABS trim 2x"
