That's one way to keep the under side of your fenders clean!

I had Ford orange on them before, this has a slightly different tint to it. This is Les Schwab orange powder coat.

Close enough for me.

I actually had to remove one due to an alignment error and it came off fairly easily using tire irons with plastic rim protectors. I removed it from the back side in case I chipped the paint, but no problems.

It's MUCH easier to work with new tires vs. the old ones.
