Would you happen to have any pictures of your set up?

I've run ACE tube fenders on mine for a while and have had no issues with them. I've whacked them against trees and rocks and scraped them along gulch trail walls with no body damage. I tore my plastic aftermarket flares into pieces and didn't want to waste money on another set.

And I wheel it pretty hard.

I've seen three different Jeeps have plastic flares ripped off on these trails, no issues with my ACE:

Reviving this thread because I'm getting closer to the purchase. I only ask that this doesn't turn into metal vs plastic. I simply want to know how flat flares would look on my Jeep as it sits now. Here are the most updated pics I have.

Would flats leave too much space?

I don't think it'll dwarf your tires too bad, but it'll make it look like you have a higher lift.. Which is a bonus!
