That does look like it could take some impact

I want to see these.

I love the ACE flares but they need to release a slightly wider version.

I got the ACE flares on today. I still have to put the liners back in. Maybe sometime next week. JTG, those PSC flares look great.

Just my opinion but the ACE flares look like they dont even follow the body lines in the rear i got a buddy who has them and hates them for this reason as well.

I just got my PSC front and rear flairs last week. The quality is second to none and they are built to last. They got back from the powder coater so I should have them on this week.

Hey, you probably already looked into this but i wanted to mention it anyway. There rears require you to install riv-nuts. You have to drill the holes out to 17/32. You can't get that drill bit just anywhere. I used a 1/2 and bored the holes out slowly but I was really careful. Just wanted to throw that out there.

What did that cost you and how long did it take, out of curiosity?

I had the front and rear plus the Brawler Lite bumper painted matte black for $275. It depends on where you get the coated but if you go with some out of the norm color they may charge you to have that shipped in. In my case it would have been $5 a pound. The place I deal with can only buy in bulk. They might get lucky and five a 12.5lb box but most of the time have to buy it in 25lb boxes. Two days to get them coated and back in my hands.

Not sure if you wanted to know how long to get them coated or do the install.

Install time on the front was around 5 hours. And install time for the rears was around 4.5 hours.

I really like the Metal Cloak fenders because you can fit a 37" with no lift.
