Default Flat Fenders with Stock Bumpers?

Anybody running Flat Fenders/Flairs with the stock bumpers? I'm wondering how it would look for while until I can afford some bumpers.

Doesn't Look horrible and it would only be until the end of the year. I have the teraflex Leveling Lift & 1.25" Body Lift and hoping with the flat fenders I can run 35s. Anybody know? I'm still new to this coming from tuner cars.

You could do the stubby mod to the stock front bumper, I am sure it would look alot better. The mod isnt all that hard just takes takes a little patience getting things cut right and fitted together. I did it all in an afternoon.

We ran with cut flat fenders and stock bumpers for a while waiting for our bumpers. You'll hit the front bumpers on articulation but it's doable (assumes aftermaket tires).
