Why would you want to cover up rust?

What about going flare-less? Unless there are regulations against it there.

I agree. But you might also want to consider TJ flares. They look better than Rusty's. No reason to have to look at those nasty bolts Rusty's uses.

ha, ha, I cut them that way dude. They go all the way down originally. TJ flares are much bigger than XJ wheel wells and you have to cut to fit. I chose to cut mine like that but you don't have to.

Edit: Here's what it looked like when I was measuring & fitting ... before the chop.
