Those are the same fronts and rears as I run on mine...👍

I hate to admit it, but man, I think you're right....

those front guards are not the wide type front guards...

I have an old set of proper wide cheetah style guards laying around. They need some fiberglass repair though on both left guards. They are my old guards from before I painted the car.

Driving through Mud with snug fitting guards is likely to tear them off.
Looks cool for a Hotrod Beetle, but I dont reckon it would work for a baja
