Dave (Valpacer) has flex flares (not sure where from, but it's all the same.), which look appropriate on his beast.

I tried them on mine and found it a pain/impossible to get them to sit nice with the shape of the WH arches, they either want to run straight around the curves, or continue curving on the straight sections.
They would work fine, just would look a bit tacky after a while, especially on the rear where you need a section on the door itself, which will never line-up nicely with the one on the panel.

The other issue with some brands is that they attach underneath to the pinch-weld. I already rub on the pinchweld occasionally and have flattened some sections, so they really need to be glued/taped to the outside of the panel itself.

The chrome ones below are supposed to attach to the pinchweld too.
But if they look like they'll work, I'd trim the inside endge and attach them to the panel with trim tape.
