That's an absolutely perfect product. You better gear up for some serious orders.

WOW, I love it . Thanks Jerry for the great write up and to Mike and the rest of the gang at Modern Classic Enterprises, LLCo for thinking outside the box (in this case thinking outside the Jeep norm)

Hey Jerry did you check to see how much weight was saved?

ok who's going to be the 1st to post pics of this product installed with trimmed stock flares?

It would appear that Krylon Fusion is a good color match for flame red Jeep's. Eh, Jerry?

Brilliant!!! I'll be getting these as soon as a flare is developed for it. May I suggest a 5" or 5.5" flare. No one else has one and It would be the perfect coverage for us running 12.5" wide tires...

It's a cool product except that you have to hack the old fenders up, so there is no reversing it. Aside from that it's abs plastic, how well is that paint really going to stick to it and hold up? I'm happy with my tubes, I'm just not hardcore enough for these.

You guys are filling a nice little niche. Good for you. Back it with quality customer service and you'll do ok. Especially with Blaine pushing lighter rigs on everyone lol.

"LCOG" isn't cheap and it certainly isn't easy. If you think so, you are doing it wrong. If you aren't willing to put in the effort, don't label your build "LCOG". You are just a cheap ******bag.

Now they need a product to clean up the rears. One, just to cover the nut serts around the wheel wells ( because who wants to run rear flares when flat fendering the front) and one for a stretched jeep.

Get the flares too wide and they'll flap like bird wings in the wind. Or add a bunch of bracing to their design and they'll be the new bushcrackers.

Jerry.....looks nice and clean. The fact that it flexes rather than creases is great. Just what is needed for a front fender.

My suggestion (for what it is worth)....find some black socket head cap screws to mount those side markers. It will put the finishing touch on it, IMHO.

Be sure to let us know how they handle that occasional rock out on the trail.

Interesting design... On my rig, the parts of the fender that are left after your cuts are tweaked (more inside where the fenders are mounted...don't ask how I did that), so would take some "massage" work get these mount correctly.

Jerry or MCE guys, I assume the lights were not part of the $160 Kit... How much would someone be looking at to source all the stuff that you installed?
