Agreed. However you should have a plan for front inner fender liners. I cut a set of Sahara flares. They look awesome! But the factory front liners look like shiz when cut! So I pulled them off until spring when I can fab something that looks good. I live in an area with heavy winter so leaving the liners out is not an option. This is an issue with all flat fenders not just factory cuts. Spend $$ on mechanical or electronics. Cut your own flares.

You can trim them to look pretty good again but I haven't gotten around to it and mine look like how you described.

Just installed my bushwacker flats Sunday. I was worried they wouldn't be robust enough... They are far more stout than the OEM fender with a far better mounting design. The fender liner looks OEM if you install them properly. For less than $500 I'm almost legal in SoCal which weighed heavily on my decision also.Click image for larger version
