Plenty of options for aftermarket fenders for the JK... I'm not interested in going steal, cutting openings, etc.

What I really want is a JL Rubicon styled high-line front fender solution (rear wouldn't be bad, either) for the JK. Mopar used to have an option, but they were bulky and, IMHO, didn't look at all correct.

I know it's a dumb desire... humor me.

Fiberwerx seem to make a decent copy, it's pretty close to the original

Yeah, those look sharp. I'd like to see more pictures and how they compare to the JK flares. They could be an option for me as well.

exchanged emails with Fiberwerx. Very quick responses and great information.

The three questions I asked:
Are they available with JK marker light vs JL?
  • No, they will need the JL corner lights.
Do they use factory mounting?
  • Yes, they do.
Are they available painted?
  • No, they are only available in a white gelcoat, not primed or painted.

Soooooooo......are you going to be a guinea pig for these?? I'd like to see them but something about getting into a new house limits your disposable income.

Doubtful. They are almost exactly what I would want, minus the JL marker light. I really do not like that aspect.

Plus, i'm sure getting it past my wife would not be an easy discussion.
