Just came across these in my monthly Jeep porn magazine...they look pretty gnarly.
Not bad price at around $380-390 for the fronts.

They look pretty good, to be honest. Definitely not as much as these other flares, that come in bare steel and require paint, only to be hit by rocks.

And it looks like the fronts have a nice angle built in for clearance

I've been surprised by all the smittybilt parts i'm running on my rig. I did not build my rig to look pretty, but to just be functional. The F/R bumpers and rock rails have been taking beatings. The only downside is the paint chipping off, but then again, its not suppose to be pretty imo.

I agree....nothing out there finish wise that'll stand up when getting grinded against rocks and trees etc.
Might just pull the trigger on these bad boys since the Bushwackers are a little worse for wear

To be honest man, I will probably end up pulling the trigger on these as well. I just want to see them on a Jeep without all that other stuff they have on their advertising picture lol.
