They look like the stock ones cut down. I'd save the cash and do it that way if it's what you are looking for.

Default Smittybilt Fender

Just noticed on these new flares on the Smittybilt website. It says the are made of steel, and Smittybilt stuff usually is pretty inexpensive. Any thoughts? I've been looking for replacement flares, since the stock plastic ones are a joke.

I personally like them. I don't think you could ever get a smooth cut on the stock flares so this might be an option. I wouldn't pay over 250 for them though

I can't judge from the pics ... Angbri buy them and be the guinea pig , then take some pics for us... I would have to see other angles. Smittybilt stuff is usually pretty cheap. The gaps on the fenders seem a little uneven though. I like the fenders to match up with the body lines.
