Trimmed Fender Flares a bit... whatcha think?

I had an extra set of flares that I got from someone on here a while back and finally decided to do something with them. Whatcha guys think? Keep the stock white ones or go with the black ones?

I'd also go with the trimmed ones. I did my front ones a week or two ago, and love them! I only did the front as the forward cant of the LJ made it unnecessary to do the back. By just doing the front, things are even now...



Cheers! M2

I like the black flares but they make your tires looks smaller....

Body colored flares are sweet and won't fade (hopefully they aren't peeling).

The blacks look cheap and make your tires look tiny.

So I vote white. I wish I had painted flares.

i know there are a few writeups on doing this but was wondering if anyone has done this with the flares on the jeep? i like the way it looks and want to do it but i'm too lazy to take off the flares.

YOUR jeep looks better with the white IMHO. But if you don't like either, sell your white ones to pay for new ones all together
