Bushwacker's flat panel fender flares, with no curling under you get the appearance of a bigger lift, more wheel articulation, and a pretty sharp look (to each his own in that category).

Price: $378.99
Pros: Good tire coverage
Cons: LED turn signals didn't seem very bright
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Second set of Bushwacker flares that I have installed. The last one were the pocket flares about 8 yrs ago. These seemed similar, the hassle really isn't the flares. The problem is the nuts that are in the jeep's fender. Just give yourself a few hours and don't rush it. Been on a week or so and happy so far.

Price: $260.00
Pros: Look great and give lots of extra flex when needed.
Cons: Not the easiest thing to instal mostly because the OE flares are tough to get off, and the marker light wires aren't marked the same colors as the OE ones
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Wanted to up the tire size but wasn't ready to instal a lift kit. So I put these and a 1" body lift on and was able to wheel pretty aggresively. I got them slightly used so they do not sit as flush to the front fenders as I would like, this may be a con when it comes to the longevity of the product.

Pros: Extra coverage stops Jeep from getting covered in everything.More proportional to tires. Provides extra clearance for flex.
Cons: Makes tires look smaller, pain to install if nutserts are frozen.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: This kit allows me to drive through a puddle without covering the windows and body with dirty water. Haven't bashed them into a tree yet so we will see what happens when I do.

Comments: I really liked the look of the flat flares and these looked better to me than the xenon's. The install is easy and straightforward, the side markers are a bit of a pain to put on(I wish that was done at the manufacturer). They make your tires look small.

Price: $379.00
Pros: Look good, have light on the side.
Cons: Some kind of plastic
Recommended? Yes

Comments: These in my opinion look good, have fairly descent coverage, have side light markers to keep them legal. easy to install. I had two problems installing these. They both were my fault, the first was that the sheet metal on my front end were bent from my tires rubbing on them so it made installing the front a pain. the second was the adhesive strips that they come with> i didnt read the directions properly so when the said to cut them and peel off a 1 foot piece, i cut them into 1 foot pieces, this made it a pain to peel all the backing off and now i have little gaps in between each piece. Other than that i like these fenders, my jeep still gets splashed with a lot of mud but that is to be expected and i like the way it looks anyway. They are a good product and feel pretty sturdy, i wouldn't try standing on them though.

Price: $450.00
Pros: Look pretty good, provide coverage over aftermarket wheels/tires
Cons: expensive
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Mine came warped and didn't want to fit right so I installed them without the gasket and drove around a week or two in the summer and then installed the gasket.

Problem I have now is that three of the LED's went out on the driverside. Customer service sent me the claim form but in order to fill it out you have to take off the flare to get the mold number on the inside of the flare and that ruins the gasket, which I have not been able to find anywhere on their site to order, not sure if they are gonna send more of the gasket, emails stopped after the claim form was sent.

Overall though, I'm happy, they look good and make me legal so I don't have to keep putting my stock wheels back on when getting my jeep inspected, a yearly ordeal over here in Germany.

Pros: -Simple Install -Quality product -LED lights -Looks Great
Cons: -Hard to replace light if LED goes. -Easily damaged (aesthetically)
Recommended? Yes

Comments: On the positive side, installation is simple and a quality product. Seems pretty flexible and will likely tear off before damaging the fender (to me a positive). They definitely look great for flares.

On the maybes/negatives, if the LED light goes, you'll need to remove the fender which means new adhesive trim from Bushwacker. Would be nice if the trim only adhered to the fender so they could be removed easily. They scratch/get damaged very easily. If you rock crawl or do decent trails probably look elsewhere. Perfect for my uses though. A 4" version would be nice too.

Price: $450.00
Pros: Allows more space for larger tires and because of the coverage keeps the cops away.
Cons: Flimsy, fasteners suck as does the tape supplied.
Recommended? No

Comments: I bought these to keep the cops off me as my rubber was extending beyond my stock fenders.
These fenders are for show only and will not take even a small hit. I'd say my stock fenders were stronger as I have pivoted off the same stump with my stocks with no worries but the Bushwackers popped and crumpled.
The only bonus I suppose is that the tub didn't suffer.
I'll switch off to GenRights next spring and pitch the Bushwackers.
By the way these BW's are the new series but still garbage.

Price: $355.00
Pros: Good Looks, Room for Flex, Flexible material
Cons: BITCH to install, attaching the marker lights almost took me an hour and I am ASE certified.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: My rig had 6" pocket flares installed that I just did not care for... I got a good deal on these flat flares - $355 Shipped so I jumped on them.

I rated this product bad for 1 reason. The hardware was incomplete - Bushwacker shorted me the mounting blocks but threw in a second hardware packet including LEDs , no complaint there, im sure the LEDs are expensive. A quick call to Bushwacker resolved the issue free of charge but I had to wait an additonal 10 days for the parts to install.

Other issues are sharp edges on some of the inside parts of the flares that gave me a few cuts. The mounting tape also sucks ***

Overall they look great - just be ready for a long day of install, that is if Bushwacker included all the parts
