Which flat flares for the $$?

Well...butsed up one of my front flares wheeling in the snow today.

Just curious what people are running and pro/cons. I dont really need flats since I have 3.5" of lift and 35's but figured if I have to replace them, might as well go flats if I decide on a bigger tire someday.

Search the site, there's plenty of info on all the flat fender choices. That being said, since it's already cracked, I would just chop your factory fenders.

Yeah I plan on chopping them.

Ive been procrasinating on new ones for a while now, the fender thats busted has some pretty good clearcoat cracks in it and have been waiting for a reason to replace them.

You did the same this as me except i almost tore mine off. Went with bushwacker flat fenders. They were $200 off, so 400+ tax and they will flex, not shred to pieces like the stockers next time.
