wow looking good thus far man. the hard part about making a set and selling is being able to make a competitive priced product with good quality that will net you profit too. but they look good man cant wait to see an installed pic.

Hey. Update. I need to finish trimming and drilling and match the rest of the jeep but I need to know your opinion on the matched plate with the black flare section. Tell me what ya think. Maybe some other cool ideas too

Is it going to be any closer to the body? I also think I would just paint the whole thing black..... oh and get some bigger tires.... sorry I had to say something about them.

Well those are my inspection tires. I have 33's sitting around. And yea. When they are actually bolted on they will be basicly flush

Very Nice!!! I've been throwing around this idea, now i know what to shoot for.

i think you should follow the body line on the doors and paint all below that line like on the fender part just to make it look nice but they look good i think im gonna do angle cuts instead of bends on mine tho

Nice..........

They look great. Exactly what I have been mapping out for my own rig. I dont see why more people dont do this.

I think I would like to bring mine right down to the bottom of the rocker more like the bushwacker flat flares just for looks. Itll take a little more work bending the plate around the rocker but I think it will turn out nice.

How many hours in them so far?

And I agree, I think you should paint the entire panel black. Its armour, it looks good black.

Well I did the one flare and if you put together the five minutes I put in here and there and add them all up I probably only put in an hour of work. Now that's not including welding. I am still a novice with welding so I got my co-worker to do it. They are nice clean thick welds. Almost machine like lol. But in any case if I sat down and made all five I think it would take five or six hours depending on the problems I run into

I think you should paint them black. you know make your work stand out for all to admire and be jealous about. I cant wait to get mine done cause yours look great and I think mine would benefit from this mod.

Mosescase 12-27-2010 09:46 PM

agreed with painting them black

hey man they look good. they stick out a little far for me but hey the law is the law right? i was looking at the picture of the build and it looks like your tube is banged up? if it got all banged up on the build how would they hold up to a rock????? also how about rear flairs??? are they gonna be whole rear quarter panels or just like the front? just the flair part? but hey man they look good

alloutperform 01-05-2011 09:44 PM

i like the overall concept..looks tough as hell from the front..personally i would bring both fronts and rears to the bottom of the body..and definatly make thing look kinda pretty..i got a yota buddy his truck was 5 colors with big black bushwackers on it got stopped all the time we rolled it rustoleum dk. green hasn't been stopped since...if it looks decent they don't look twice
