Default Anyone have bushwacker flares?

I've been kicking the idea around about getting some since my tires now stick out about 2 inches. Has anyone seen the difference between the smooth finish and textured finish?

Hmmm, I was thinkin the very same thing yesterday. I was leaning towards the textured ones because thats what my fenders are now, but I would love to actually see them on a JK.

They havent been released yet.The rough finish should be about like the stock.
the smooth will be just that a smooth black that can be painted.


I'm still waiting on mine, They'll be painted rescue green to match my JK

The painted ones are on the cover of the spring 2007 Essentials for Jeep Vehicles (Quadratec) catalog. I guess it is their project JK.

Dont you worry that they will get the crap beat out of them with rock chips? The Saharas come with the side steps just for that reason. Something to think about.
