Poking at new fenders. Like the Bushwacker flat style and the xenon but not sure which is best quality and install. Any suggestions?

I went with the Bushwackers. Install was pretty simple, cheaper, and I didn't have to cut my Jeep.

I just ordered Bushwackers. I was comparing BW, Xenons and MCE and the xenons seemed to have the most negative reviews compared to the other two and I got a great price on the BW via Brian at 4wd.com

Thanks for your input. Looks like the Bushwackers are the way to go

we all have different tastes and I have yet to see a set of stock cut ones that I have cared for. For me it is worth it to spend $500 to get a look I like. I agree tho if a person likes how stock cut ones look that would be a good way to go.

If you set on not cutting the stock ones, I would go bushwacker. But it is all personal preference, I'm think of ripping them off completely actually

Understandable. Out of all the fenders I would choose bushwackers. I actually cut mine to look like those. If you have the money go for it!

I just like saving the money for something more practical like tires, gears, locker etc
