Have you considered the ACE Engineering tube fenders? They sell for $600 to $700 shipped for all 4 with powdercoated finish. I have them on my short list. The PSC narrows look the best, but even with 10% off and free shipping they will run $950 before painting. Add $400 for paint or powder coat. They are the ones I'd really like, but I'm balking at the price...$685 plus $75 shipping for the ACE narrows sounds really good. They just don't look as good...

the only Ace products I don't have are the cargo basket and their flat fenders, my state is supposedly one of the pickiest ones.
I've got my factory wheels and rims mounted and just waiting for inspection day, you can't have any of your tread sticking out further than your fenders...and there are frame height above the ground limits that the 37's put me 2" too tall.
So I'm not taking any chances, I'm going with the Bushwacker flats, I like the idea of plastic and they are very wide, which will probably cut down on the crap thrown up onto my Jeep when I have my 37's on 364 days of the year!

I do like the way the "Metal" flares feel when I grab them…they look awesome too…but, I'm on the trail often and have been in tight spots where I have had things hit the fender flares. I've seen others sustain body damage this way. You might not, but I really didn't feel confident going in that direction.
I've got the Bushwacker Flat flares and like them a lot. Summit Racing has the for $500 and a $50 dollar rebate. So you can get 'em for $450, no tax or freight. Pretty cheap, durable, and they look pretty cool.
Hers a few pics…It's all opinions I reckon…You can't be wrong if you're happy with what you get..

MCE is what I plan on going with. I just don't want my 315's with 2'5" lift to look too small. I can always get my 37's early but I would like to wait until summer for those.
