The fronts are rather stiff because of the shell underneath. My opinion .. The Smitty's look like overly trimmed stock flares.
I really just hacked mine and they look good, I did tape a slant to follow on the front but the rest... I just followed the inner radius.
Really can't screw up ... Sand and use the plastic trim. You'll like the look and it's free.

The blade can hit the metal fender if not careful. It's just hard to work a jig saw around the front section.
I jammed a cut off piece of flare in between the body/flare to protect it.

I think a Dremel w/ a cut wheel works well.
This would work good too

Chris at jeepaddons.com. Unfortunately, I think they are out of business. But I figure if they could do it, then other vendors should get close. Bryan Hart <bhart@4wd.com> had me at $450, but Chris beat it so I purchased from him. I think, its hard to remember, but I think Northridge 4x4 had me at $495. I contacted EVERYONE. On a tight budget for mods after my monthly payments for the JK.
