P700 700-4 Fender Flares

[Lassie_21]

I'm looking to purchase some fender flares for my 700-4. I have seen a lot of posts about the mud buster flares, OEM front flares and also custom made flares. I'm curious if anyone has purchased or knows anything about the UTVDirect flares. I don't know the actual manufacturer but they don't have a picture of them installed on the machine. I contacted UTVdirect and they said the manufacturer did not provide installed photos but he said they have sold several hundred pairs. From what i have read here it seems most who have bought the mud busters say they work great.

I like the Mudbusters the seem tough and prevent alot of mud from slinging

I bought the OEM front flares. They work great. Only bad thing is you have to drill all the holes

Is the same install method (body push pins) used with the mud busters?

I don’t know about that. I only have experience with the Honda part.
The Honda part does use the push pins

mudbusters use self tapping screws

mudbusters use self tapping screws

Those would probably be better then drilling holes and getting the push pins to go through the flare and fender
I had a little trouble on the front of the passenger side flare getting the last push pin to line up.

New 2021 P700-4 owner here. I went with the OEM Honda flares as well, couldn't be happier. They use the factory style/automotive pushpins as others mentioned. I think took me a full 10 minutes total for both sides. Very easy straight forward install.

Lined up the flares so they fit flush against inside molded plastic, marked the holes with a sharpie, drilled 1 hole and mounted up the flare and verified all holes were aligned properly before continuing to drill. Removed the flare and drilled out remaining holes. Once all holes were drilled I then mounted the front of the flare first as the pin must pass through the flare and existing plastic components. I then installed the remaining pushpins without issue.

Not sure what cost difference between the two products you're considering, but I was pleased with build quality, as well as fit and finish of the Honda $99 flares.

I do like the factory look of the OEM flares. i think thats the route i am going to go in the front and for the rear either get the mudbusters or try to make my own with some 1/8" HDPE sheeting. Thanks everyone for responses and opinions!
