Default Flat Fender Flares

I was thinking about doing a flat fender flare/tube fenders on my jk but im a little hesitant because i have the aev front bumper; the bumper is made to flow nicely with the stock flares; i wish i had thought about this before i made the purchase...

If anyone has seen or has pictures of their jk's or someone elses with flat flares and either the stock width bumper or aev front bumper it would be helpful

thanks alot for any help

i really like the aev front bumper and i really like flat fenders but the two together look a bit off... or, at least in my opinion.

Tube fenders are pretty sick either way. Never saw the point in spending five bills on plastic fenders, chop the ones already on the JK for nearly nothing. If i had the cash to spend I would go with some heavy tube fenders. There are a lot of companies making them and as much as they cost, they are a great upgrade

do you know of any tube fenders that come down in the direction of the aev bumper and that just dont stop at the top or slant inward towards the body?

idk if i might also just be better off cutting my stock fenders cause than they would still have that flush look to them...

I plan to get a slightly customized mid-width LOD plus Superwinch EPI9.0s in the near future.

I have the same problem with my ARB bumpers !!! I thought I saw pics from an orange JK on the Sema last last year with great fenders but I don't remember the brand.
