<< Do all '85 Westys have a white reflective strips on the leading edge flare of the rear wheel wells? Are they replaceable? Where do you get them, mine are messed up. I think they look cool but don't really understand why they are there. Any ideas?

LOL !!! :<) they are not "reflective strips" , but merely adhesive "gravel guards"..... this is a common practice among ALL automotive manufacturers, and it protects the paint on the rear wheel well flare... personally, i'd just mask off the perimeter of them and spray them w/ the factory color (available in spray cans from your dealer) or you could just peel them off w/ the aid of a hairdryer, and buy some clear plastic film, trace, cut and stick....
