Arrow Opinions on Aftermarket Fender Flares

I just got back in from visiting Xenon (who as some of you may know makes aftermarket fender flares) to see what they are developing for the new Jeep JK Wrangler and when I got there, they already had 2 different mock-ups mounted to each side of a JK. On one side, they had what looked like a Willys flat fender and on the other side, they had what kind of looked like a TJ fender with a fender flare that stepped down and extended beyond it. Sorry for the poor descriptions but I wasn't allowed to take photos and that's maybe the best I can do to describe what I saw.

Anyway, I was wondering what you guy think of designs like these and/or if you had something you might want to see instead.

Id love to see the willys idea..

other than that. I like the Bushwacker flares, if they were about 6 inch's narrower...

When I first saw the fenders on the JK, visions of "Flat Fenders" popped into my head. Either plastic or steel, a flat fender look would be awesome on the JK.

Sorry but these were still in the modeling stage and I was not allowed to take photos.

I'd say - without having seen them - the"Willys Flat Fender" sounds good to me. I'd be interested in the pics.

Definitely like the idea of a flatfender... Anything but those floppy-looking stock flares.
