Default Rear corner guards

Does anybody have info on good rear corner guards that don't require extreme cutting like river raiders?
Broke a tail light cover last time out and am thinking this might save me some body damage in the future...
Anyone running these Warrior Products corner guards?

Not a fan of the diamond plate, but here is another 2 pics...


I think they look pretty good and at only around $100 for the pair in smooth black steel, I'm thinking they are a good deal. Thoughts?

I like the AEV Corner Guards and plan on purchasing them eventually. Kind of spendy though.

Go with the AEV's they fit perfect and follow the curves of the JK, the even wrap up into the J channel.

The warriors dont match the lines very nicely, the leave a gap in the corners

The AEV's worked really well on RubyDoo and were tested on a regular basis. the only downfall to them was tail light protection but that the style of tail light the factory used.

$100 plus the cost of tail lights Right?

How much cutting is involved?

I like the AEV also, the diamond plate look on the Warriors just doesn't do it for me.......the smooth look on the Warriors isn't too bad..

Its $100 + the cost of the lights, yea.

And I agree about the gap, that's pretty much what is holding this whole thing up, but i do like the idea of mounting a CB antenna there so it doesn't look quite as odd. I do like the LED round light look too. I also know that WP may not be the highest quality, but these looked decent. decent...
