Default Xenon v Bushwacker fender flares?

Looking to purchase one of the two. I have a black 2011 4 door. I know the Bushwackers come to match the bumpers. Not sure about the Xenon.

Opinions?

Bushwacker all the way. The Xenons will begin to sag after time goes by. The Bushwackers are a much nicer design and they incorporate the inner fender liner and create a complete smooth surface inside the fender and it makes it very easy to clean underneath.

I'm also close to making a purchase on the Bushwackers - I like what I see in the pictures but have not seen them in person - how is the quality on the fit and finish... Does it look like a factory fit when done?

Co sign on the bushwackers. I have them and love um' opens up a ton of room, really easy to take care of, stronger than stock, and they can be painted partially or fully to match. The only thing is they are a bitch to install. And if you get them run out and get some spare hardware for the bolts that attach the fender hardware to the Jeep. The ones that come with it are alright but trust me when I say you're going to snap a few of the nylok nuts.

I'm going to have to vote for the Xenon's. I love mine, and they are extremely flexible on the trails - they're made of urethane, as opposed to the plastic from the Bushwackers that is the same as the stock ones.

They also come with reinforcement panels to "stiffen" them up when not being used offroad. WELL worth the money, IMO.
