I think I would pay a little more and go with steel fenders like the ACE flares over the plastic ones

Either go metal or cut the stock ones. No reason to pay for plastic fenders.

The ace is like 685 and if these are them I'd go with a real tube fender. These are not attractive to me but opinions are like anus. They stink

Check your laws in your State concerning tire coverage. Most have a limit on how much sticks out from the flares....Just a thought...

This, at least try cutting the stock ones. If you f*ck up the cutting, get something else. Though some people could argue that metal ones are too tough when they get a hit, and instead of bending the fender flare, you will bend the fender itself, which would cost more to replace. Hence why many go with plastic flares as they flex on hits and/or are easier/cheaper to replace.

I've got PSC aluminiuim flares that I bash into a tree or rock at least once during my weekend trail runs. At this point for me to bend or break one of my flares I will be causing some serious damage to my Jeep. They cost more but IMO they are worth the price tag. Just make sure the ones your looking at don't just mount to the sheet metal body, the PSC ones come with reinforcement brackets to help with bracing the flare.

The snow pic isn't my Jeep it's my buddies I just put it in there for reference for the trails were running

Just cut em yourself my friend. Its simple you did it yourself so its a bit different than anyone else's, and door trim to finish it is cheap
