When Should I Fix My Fender?
Okay, so I was in a great JK meet-up yesterday (23 Jeeps, including four TJs) and this tree jumped in the way of my right front fender. Anyway, as it happens RCJunkie had a fender at his house which he graciously offered to me. I was actually going to just glue the inner fender I broke back together and the outer fender popped off and is mostly intact--good enough. But, his is pretty pristine so I took him up on his offer. It just happens I pulled that fender earlier this year, so I have a box of the special clips that hold it in place (buy them at the dealer for $6 each, or from select supply sources for about $10/box of 15). So, I'm ready to install the fender. But, here's my question: How long should I parade around my damaged fender?

It looks kinda cool, but if it flaps around on the highway, could it put some stress on the sheet metal fender and do more damage? Can't really tell from the picture, but it sounds like you had a fun day.
