Good news: Bushwackers Installed!!!
I'll post up more pics tomorrow once I get the Jeep all cleaned up. They look GREAT, but...
I had them installed and when I picked it up I noticed the front drivers side flare had some flaws in the plastic. I asked the tech and he said it came out of the box that way. They should have asked me what I wanted to do PRIOR to installing them... but now I'm left with the decision to either accept it, ask for them to be discounted and live with it, or have the flare replaced.
What would you do???
Pics below.

I just installed mine and they came with zero defects/scratches. Im sure the tech did this while installing them. I scratched mine in a couple spots while installing them. Kind of hard not to since they are so big and one person can only be so careful. I would just live with it. Its a jeep after all!

Few people accept blame for their faults these days, likely won't get anywhere with the installer since you've already taken the vehicle home. Making a mental note not to go back - that's a good solution. Perhaps even saying so to the owner may help. The installer may be making a habit of scratching parts when he installs them.

Run it!!! I'm sure they'll be plenty of scratches to match soon enough. The day after I installed mine, I ran it into the side of a boulder...... Was pissed for 2 mins..... Then realized It's a Jeep thing and moved on. Good luck either way

The manager called me today and said that he can't get just one replacement fender from Bushwacker, he'll have to buy the set. I feel I paid enough for these that if they get scratched up, it should be from me. I'm going to have them replace it.
Not a great pic, but here one... I'll take more soon.
