Just put on xj fender flares on a zj last night.

Looks pretty good, i took a lot of pictures so I was thinking about doing a write up, what do ya think? Updated with more pictures.

Alright, here we go

Before





Installing









Painting







Im going to meet up with him soon and Ill take some more during the day and some full body shots, so keep an eye out for those. Were gunna caulk the gaps and probable repaint them again so it doesnt look messy at all. Overall I like the look and now hes road legal

The next day






The white under the flare is the only thing that looks bad, so were gunna take a shot on fixing that tomorrow

Doesn't follow lines of original fender and of course the ole white sticking out underneath. I know it's gonna upset some people b/c I call it the way I see it but it looked better b/4. But, if the owner likes it I guess it doesn't matter. It's his rig so opinions shouldn't really matter to him.
