Default PSC Crusher Flares or Bushwacker

I know one is metal and the other is plastic. One is way more in price than the other. I want the PSC. But I don't like that rear wells do not have any liner. I have a white jeep and I am afraid the body showing through will look bad. Any suggestions? Are there metal flares that have a liner for the rear? I am skeptical to rattle can it.

Thanks.

Don't be skeptical!! I removed my rear fenders all together, sprayed the tub flat black and it's done!!! Looks good and easy to touch up!

You can still trim your rear liner to fit, which is actually what the bushwhacker install instructions will have you do (they don't come with liners, you just trim your stock liners to fit). Just might need to add an extra hole or two with a fastener to keep it from flopping around with the PSC's.

Or, the easier route, just paint the rear wells black.

This is what I did as well and I think it looks better then the plastic liner.

I agree with the other posts. I would remove the liners, paint the wells, and go with the PSC. If you're really concerns with the rattle can you can always use plasi-dip. Not going to stay as long as paint but you can remove it later if you really need to.

Bed liner in a can works well too!! Touches up very easily if needed.

I've had the Bushwackers for over a year now. They're sturdy and all but get stained and faded. I've been looking at PSC or Smitty's new Flux (since they come powder coated).

PSC flares FTW! Paint the wheel wells with Rustoleum bedliner. But make sure to prep the surface first by scuffing them with sand paper, steel wool, etc. so the bedliner has something to stick to. Ask me how I know.

I have the BW flat fenders and they faded and stained in less than a year. I like the look but not the quality... I am saving up to get the Nemisis Notorious flares...
