Default new flares Xenon or Bushwackers

hey guys....i wanna get some new flares for my Unlimited.....not sure if i should go with the xenon flat flares or the Bushwacker pocket style...like them both but think the bushwackers are a bit bulky....

Personally, I would go with the new Bushwacker flat fenders.

I would go with tube flares or flat style form bushwacker personally.



One thing I noticed is the paint color match on the Xenon product photos is really bad. Looks like grey fenders on white Jeep.

i went with the xenon narrows and line-x'ed them. they look amazing on my black jeep and i get a ton of compliments on them. the new bushwacker fenders are better than those big garbage ones they make, but i still prefer the look of the xenons myself.

A body shop should be able to color match. I just noticed that for Xenon product photos the paint match is way off.

x2
I've seen both on rigs I've wheeled with and the Bushwacker's look more polished...nice inner liner design!
