To be fair, these are for doors OFF driving. Everyone already knows about the passenger side issue, so a quick search is all you would have needed before purchase. And then, you could go to the mfg's website, which has this note right in the instructions for them:
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the placement of the new mirror brackets, the passenger side mirror will be partially blocked with full doors reinstalled. This is normal and is an unfortunate side effect of the new mirror placement. With doors removed or the installation of factory half doors visibility will NOT be blocked and function as intended.
Quadratec has a link to the same information on their website.
4WheelParts has a link to the same information on their website.

Not saying that it isn't an annoyance, just that it is a known issue that everyone can easily find out about before purchase...

Rugged Ridge flat fender flares. They're really cheaply made and the fronts flop around on the highway. When I put these on I only had a 2" budget boost and needed the clearance for 35's and thought they looked cool. Wish I would have done Bushwackers . Now that I have enough lift, I might just put the stock dumbo ears back on.
