Options are limited right now, I could be wrong but I think PSC just came out with their rears finally, why they didn't do a full front/rear in the beginning who knows? RR's are ok, they just have hard-angle bends which don't flow on the JKs, functionally sure they'd work.

I went with Xenon narrows for now, they are functional, much better mounting than stocks and look better and it'll buy me time until someone builds some decent tube fenders.

yeah not feeling the green, those look good, little bit of hard bends but then again it's the idea behind tube fenders. These are nice because they are plug and play, no body panel replacements, but the BP replacement versions are nice because it makes the entire quarter panel stronger, I'd have to paint match at least that portion though, then there is the extra added weight, sheesh we need a bigger engine just from the addons we do after a few years.
