I bought the Jeep with them already on. They're plastic not fiberglass but they're old and staring to Crack. I like the looks of them so I'd like to stick with the same style.

I can understand why you'd like to keep the same style. There used to be some (very expensive ones) like OME, but wider; not seen any with those mounting flanges though.

Maybe those pictures are quite old, but those flare look pretty tidy to me. However, it might be worth getting a quote from one of those places that does plastic bumper repairs for refurbing them.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately they are a bit past repair. I guess I'll keep looking. But thanks again.

Those are good looking flares.

So good looking in fact that If they were on my Cherokee I'd get them 3D scanned.
Then I'd get my buddy to carve out some molds on his 3D router and I'd lay up a few sets in fiberglass.

I recognize them, but the name of the company on SoCal escapes me. They had a lot of do it yourself bumpers and stuff like that

Well I figured it out. They were old Rusty 4x4 flares. They said they stopped making them many years ago because of material supply issue's. I'm sure they're not every one's cup of tea but it's a shame they're not around anymore. Thanks for everyone's replys.
