The fendors would look better if he would add some wheel spacers or get rims with a high offset.

I'm going 33's at some point an they'll fill it out better than the current 31's. No reason to get them yet as the 31's have plenty of life left in them.

^^x2. I think the BW's are way too "chunky" looking. I like the front TJ flare - it's different, sturdy, cheap, and as long as you make the flare side light functional, it looks good. I will say that too many people just slap 'em on without taking the time to line them up, trim them properly, and swap the stock side marker bulb into the flare, and when any one or combination of those is overlooked, they can look pretty crappy.

I dont like the bw either, or any flares for that matter, but I'd take a bw over a tj anyday, the tj front flare is horendous, It just looks like it wasnt even remotely made for the jeep cherokee, cuz well..... it wasn't.
