I few years ago I bought a set from JC Whitney. They are styled after the YJ
flares but are aboutn 1-2" wider and are fiberglass.
They look nice but needed filling and paint after I bought them.

I don't think you'd wanna go bigger than the 4" flare...my buddy put the 7"
flare on his TJ and it looks really silly...something like the bat mobile...
Good Luck!
As for the fly boys, I have a friend who has a plane and flies out of El
Paso...
