I just installed them on mine today. I have 2.5" and 37's. Pros: They are inexpensive. Cons: they are cheap. Actually for tire clearance they are great. I was running MCE's and wanted less tire coverage. I also wanted a black fender as opposed to a dark gray plastic which did not go well with my premium soft top IMO. These don't line up perfectly everywhere, but what can you expect from the Chinese. I was looking at MC Overlands but they would cost close to $2K installed and that's a complete waste for me. I will post better pics tomorrow, but it was dark outside when I finished. <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=638896"/>

First day of real wheeling after installing these... They held up great and did exactly what I wanted. No more clearance issues at full-flex and I was able to turn into a couple tight squeezes that guys with stock fenders were having to three-point to clear the leading edge of their front fenders. No complaints for the money spent on them. FYI, I'm on 2.5" of lift with 35" tires:

Thats why my wife hates them! Just bought her a set of front Poison Spyder flats to replace the Smittys. When she goes thru a puddle it literally throws up a wave of water right onto the windshield. Not to mention anyone next to you as well. They look good, but not great for coverage on tire wheel combos that are larger with less backspacing.

Man, those look really good. I'm torn because although I love the look/functionality of these, especially at the pricepoint, but I'm more concerned about coverage in the rain. If I still lived in NM, I wouldn't worry about it, but up here in Portland, I'm worried about how many people I'd piss off (not to mention peds I'd soak) driving in wet weather. On that note, has anyone ever had any tickets issued since the fenders don't fully cover the tires? Much appreciated in advance!

Kind of old, but is this deal still good?
