Default Flat fenders with 10a or Hardrock rear bumper - pics pls

I have a Hard Rock rubicon with the same rear bumper as the 10a. I was looking for a picture or a discussion about how the rear bumper fits/looks with flat fenders. Has anyone done this that would care to comment?

It looks unfinished. Maximus made some plates to block off the open bumper ends, which looks better, but not great. It would be nice if someone made a transition piece between the bumper and the Nemesis or Mopar flat fenders, although you'll likely have a new bumper at that point.

I like the look. I don't run a rear bumper, but flats with a stubby front HR bumper looks good, even better if you have a winch/stinger set up

I really doesn't look any different than many of the other rear bumpers. I would have been nice if the rear bumper was designed like the front, with removable end caps to turn it into a stubby.

I would like to see a few more pictures of that transition are between the bumper and the fender. Thanks for the reply.

there are things that will be given attention before this,
but eventually i'd like to either paint/trim the piece of body behind the rear tire.

maybe even paint the rubi rail area as well.. an inch or two black ring around the bottom of the body i tink will distract from the 'unfinished' look of the bumper more than the aftermarket pieces.. but who knows

I think if you just painted that lower flange black it would make a huge difference but it is still something I could live with. Thanks for the pictures!
