Yeah thats where im at on these things...
i like that they give a cleaner look to cut up fenders, but still rolling the fender edge after cutting would still leave a clean job... but i also like the flared out look... although these do look a little blocky...

i need to see more pics of them installed before i could make a decision...

Saw some pic's last year of the bushwacker flares, really turned me off. Even though they only stick out a couple inches on either side to me it just looked ridiculous, nice clean lines of the WJ and then these steroid flares.

i would have preferred if it gradually flared out... instead of the big 1" or more jut out...
Rusty's Offroad WJ Fenders

these look to come out abit more gradually...
still havn't seen one installed on a WJ though

I woke my dog up laughing....

someone needs to go back to the drawing board on those things...

im torn on how much i hate seeing tires sticking out from under the vehicle... and those ugly *** flairs just kill the look of the rest of the vehicle...

the side profile looks good, but the front and angles are just blah vomit....
i mean it almost sticks out as far as the mirror does...

Yeah they stick out so far that it almost remindes me of a tin can that's been stepped on, or a rock fish, not sure. I'm thinking that if I ever get to the point on one of my builds that I want to put flares on I'll just glass them myself and keep them looking like the factory lip.

Now if they would just get the winching bumpers out I could install my winch that's been sitting in the garage since last April.

you and me both. mine was bought last october so I can feel your pain. watch for CoreEquipment.com | Core Equipment | China Core Drilling Rigs | China Oil Drilling Equipment | Core Drill Machine for winch bumper and other nice wj goodies.

as for flares I liked the icelandoffroad ZJ flares. the WJ flares are not turning my crank though. either I am selling wj for a zj LOL or just trim and curl my stocker. I would like to see how RUSTY offroad fiberglass fenders work of look like or bolt on. why doesnt a magazine to a test.
