What did some of you pay for the flares and paint (from a body shop) compared to this combo pricing?

Yeah, expensive and made from plastic that is thin, flimsy and brittle. I work in a body shop and have had to deal with Bushwacker flares many times and wasn't impressed at all. Rub one of these flares against a tree or rock and you'll wish you had saved your money for the steel tube flares that several companies are working on...

If you want matching flares, get a Sahara.

You got that right! I wish I could have gotten all the options I did but without the painted flares. In fact I am supposed to be trading my painted flares away soon, just waiting to hear from the other forum member to complete the deal.

X2... But still, even the unpainted ones are $600. That's a little too much money for some plastic and glued on screw-heads
