wether you trim the flares or go aftermarket do you reccomend cutting the plastic inner lining of the wheelwell and re installing it?
I do spend a lot of time in the mud..

Xenon makes nice looking flares as well...wider/same/narrower than OEM.
To me, the difference between the Bushwackers and Xenons are these items:
- Bushwackers have a "bulbous" edging; Xenons are smooth
- Bushwackers are made from a slightly different mix of plastic--some say that is good..others say it is bad
- Bushwackers have a different "texture" as a finish, where Xenons are very smooth
Basically it looks like personal preference between the two if you go the plastic route...
Steel bolt ons are another case all together...

No issues with the finish on the bumper. It seems to be holding up pretty good. However, I am having issues with the finish on the LoD Rock Rails. I've only had them on for about 5 months and there is a lot of rust showing already.
