Has anyone ever used these Flexy Flares to add additional coverage?

I guess I am looking for the best approach and if these are a good product. If these are a quality yet economical solution, I considered picking them up. Would the best way be to remove the old flares and replace with these? Attaching them with the old ones in place may look strange..

They dont look detatchable, if your doing trail riding, get detachable, other wise you will rip them on trees

Thanks, gearheadette - I will keep that in mind. However at this point I was just looking for an inexpensive solution so I can pass inspection.

I am going to the junk yard to grab some stock ones off a JK or TJ, and cut to fit, they are wider than ours and cheap, the junk yard here wants $28 for all 4

Almost forgot, you need to get the rear fenders off the JK and TJ for the front and rear of the xj, the front fenders dont fit right

gearheadette - I have a roof rack very similar to warthogs, although it is not homemade. It is from Surco products. http://www.surcoinc.com/appguide.php
