I saw the flat fender flares are around 3 hundred and somethin a set, how can it cost so much just for fender flares. Any recommendations or do they all cost that dang much?

 

Well it would help if you posted which flares you are talking about.. other than that, theres a thread in the write up section on how to make your own flares...

 

They can ask that much, Because people want them.

 

yah you can spend 20 bucks at lowes and get some garden border if done right it looks pretty good, i think

 

Prolly bushwhacker flats.

I agree, tho, its ridiculous.

So I go flareless.

 

Flares are not required here in CO, and I think XJs look better without them, so I have none.

 

I agree with that. I would have already cut my fenders if my right rear wasnt so messed up. Freakin PO..

Would you go to work and be okay with not getting paid a fair wage for what you do?

If a business doesn't earn a profit...they don't stay in business for very long.

Yes supply and demand play a big part in the price of everything, but the cost of building a product drives the cost that consumers pay too.

Every business is free to charge whatever they feel comfortable charging. You the consumer can decide to purchase it if your so inclined and financially able to do so.

We are blessed to live in a free market society (for the most part) and part of that grand equation is that you the consumer decides who stays in business. A company that charges too much won't be around long because the end-user's won't bare the costs.

Bushwhacker has been around for quite some time and they are going strong. Obviously they have enough customers that are willing to pay the current asking price(s).

 

damn dude I was just askin. Take it easy. Im just comparing WHAT it is to other things that cost the same and even in my business where what we sell is in much higher demand than off road parts, these fender flares just don't even compare. When I think of all the things you can buy in that price range I just think these are priced way high for what it is. I didnt even say I wouldn't buy them, but no matter what you say, the fact is that they are just very expensive for what they are.

 

yeah those

 

I know, and I was simply pointing out that there are many reasons why the price is what it is, that's all.

 

Alright Im sorry, took it like you were one of THOSE guys, ya know what I mean. I get burned out so bad buy some people on forums you just never know when your gonna meet another one. Glad to see your not a punk. Sorry if I made you sound like that.

Anyways, yeah I know what you mean I just think its a weee bit high but oh well. Take care man.

 

Flexy flares = winning.

 

No apology necessary, I wasn't offended in the least.
