<< Do all '85 Westys have a white reflective strips on the leading edge flare

 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....
