Default what to do with fender flares

i need/want to do something with my fender flares. what i really want is a full set of steel fender flares but the only company that makes them currently is hooligan offroad. i know dirt bound offroad currently makes ones for the front, but not the rear.

well question is what do you guys think i should go with? what options do i have just cut and fold? i do not want to do a bushwacker style i am not a big fan.

i do like the cut and fold but worried i will chip the paint to much and wont be able to make it look good

here is a current pic of my jeep.. yes it looks like a mall crawler but have no problems getting it dirty

Are you sure? I hate getting mine dirty. Mine's a limited too and I try to preserve its clean glory.

That's a nice Jeep, I'm jealous of your tires. They've been on my want list for a while, and the price is just now finally coming down.

A dirty Jeep is a "HAPPY JEEP" keep your Jeep happy no Mall Cruisers

I really like the Rustys fenders as well!

There's a company here in SoCal called LeadFootOffroad, they make a lot of XJ Products and our certified dealers of a lot of good brands(I believe the owner owns an XJ). Anyway they make front and rear metal flares. I'll see if I can find a picture

Yeah I don't remember. They're just starting out and don't have much of a website. Just call em, they have good customer service from what I hear.
