They're fiberglass, don't rub any trees! I have seen they take some work to fit properly.

The ebay ones are 100 to ship from poland so its 270 vs 374 which is cheaper then bushwackers which are 492 bucks.The Napiers are the only cheaper flares that will take a beating and last.

Hell I just want to find a set of factory front flare brakets When I bought my jeep it didnt come with flares or brackets. For the past year I've been running with them attached with 3m emblem adhesive but they are starting to come off again... I just cant find the brackets!

Or just make your own... It wouldn't be difficult.

I'm planning on getting a set of Napier flares for my 2 door, should look good but I'm thinking that my wheel wells are going to look huge with my 3.5 soon to be leveled out 4" with those flares and 31" tires

Probably. Sounds like you need to go to 33's and a smidge less offset.

Yea it's at the back of the list of things, I'm getting some new 31" duratracs put on around Christmas so i don't want to get rid of them. Sliders and bumpers first

I have those flares. They arent bad. They don't come with instructions or hardware. Other then that, I've been pretty pleased. You dont want to hit a tree regardless if you have plastic flares or fiberglass.

I had them on my xj for probably 4 years. Smashed them against tree after tree and they took it great. My body panels crushed in more than the flares
