Okay i need some input... need to get flares to get legal. But i cant decide who to go with.

Bushwacker- big name, has warranty but everyone and their mother has them. Not to mention the pricetag!

Napier Precision Products- Up and comer, has a warranty as well but has the same look as BushWacker. And there only about $80.00 cheaper. And i know their not as wide 3.25 inchs wide.. not sure about coverage.

Rustys Offroad- pop riveted and a different design that stands out. Has a warranty and about $60.00 cheaper then Napier $140.00 cheaper then BushWacker.

E-Bay- BushWacker style flares for $180.00 but theres no feedback on the products durability and not sure if they're measured right because they're knock offs from poland or china...

So if you have these can i get your experiences, like how much you can trim on your fenders, ease of installation, durability and what not. Thanks...

 

Look up glassworks or http://sdhqoffroad.com/jeepxjfenders.aspx for some nice fiberglass flares. Depending on what you want to wheel these look great

 

Not looking for a whole fender, the idea is great just not all fiberglass.

 

I'd go for the rustys..they are cool...would be original..not many run them

 

I'm in the same boat as you... Local PD has been hating on my stance.

I wanted to go with the bw flat flares.. But I'm told they won't work with my fenders already trimmed?

Personally if I go with the "pocket" style look I'm getting the napiers. Better price, good reviews and I like the fact that they only come out 3.25. The bushwackers overpower the tire most of the time and just look out of place and silly.

I haven't seen the rustys flares I'm gonna check em out

 

I see O.C. cops haven't changed...lol. I don't get messed with at all. thank God and we are only 30-45 mins apart...lol.

BW are just too damn big. Imo, they take sooomuch away from the lines of the xj. I see guys with them around here with them with stock offset rims and i laugh my a$$ off.

Op. you don't have alot of choices here. so just pick the ones you like. I would do the napiers just to save some money. and i've heard good about them.

I love the flat flares too, but like NJXJ609 i can't use them either.
GL.

 

I was leaning towards rustys, but who on here has them? How are they holding up, how do you like them?

 

I have napiers on my XJ, Love them.

They are very tough and flexible, I'm not worried about hurting them. Seen and heard of Way too many bushwackers cracking.
