Seen this the other week at the dealership. They look good but when you get up close you can see there is a large gap around the door and the fender. I got a budy that works for a shop and he said he's installed a few sets and says they are a pain to instal and claimed to have some fittest issues. I like the look allot but they don't cover allot of tire on the front. Just my 0.02

I looked into getting these and the fitment around the fuel cap area especially if you have a fuel door installed ,looks like it would make it a PIA to fuel up.

I do like those flares and thinking about installing them. Those flares you meant...are they smooth metal ones that look like trimmed stock. If so a member was on here trying to sell his. You might want to go through the for sale section. You might get a sweet deal.

Here are my xrc flat flares. I like how they look but the only problem I have with them is the coating on them. Kind of cheap. They look good for now but I'll eventually spray them or have them sprayed.

They look good. I just put a set on mine, and in the process of putting them on my buddies jeep.
I went with them BC of the price and I was constantly worried about smacking my Bushwackers against stuff off road(much wider.) The coverage sucks, but that was part of the reason I went for them. Mounting is easy, and while rear fitment was good, front has some slight gaps around the front and rear corners(nothing noticeable unless you are looking for it.)
I have a few pics showing coverage on my computer at work, but nothing great. I am finishing up my new suspension setup this weekend and can take some better pics once I can pull it out of the garage.
