Default AEV Corner Guards and Bushwacker Flat combo

Looking for some help.....I currently have bushwacker flats on my 2 dr and would like to add the AEV rear corner guards, but want to make sure fitment won't be an issue. Anybody running this combo?

AEV no longer makes the 2 door version. You can check around, but doubt you'll find any. We were buying up any left we could find.

Well, first, even if it says "In stock," with QT, you never can tell for real.

Second, now he's going to go buy all those, too. *sheesh* - I've been wanting a set.

They won't match perfectly unless you trim the corners. I have Warrior LED corners (and figure the AEV corners are same or very similar size) with Buckwacker flats.

I zoomed a photo of my rear. The Fenders do overlap the corners, making the fenders stick out with a slight gap to the body line -- isn't a big deal to me, you'll need to trim the corner if you want a perfect flush seam.

Did you go with the AEV's ? Any reason you don't want to use the bushwacker corner guards with their fenders? I have been looking at them and they are about 1/3 the price of the AEV's. Any input on why you don't want to use them?

Hi. I bought the JK new in 2007 and been modd'ing it for close to 10 years now. The Bushwacker plastic fender's are a newer addition (I expensively found out that steel fenders don't live long in the East coast winter salt), whilst the aluminum Warrior corners were added many years ago before Bushwacker or AEV launched theirs.

You should decide what you want the corner armor for ? my sole reason was to recess the rear lights into the bodywork to avoid trail damage. The Bushwacker and AEV corners do not achieve that.
