Thanks for your service Afterfrancesca. I know the feeling when it comes to their pay. That being said, you should try trimming them. If it fails, you can still go buy a set for fenders.

I have them and like them. Get compliments all the time. I don't really like the bushwacker flats and I like the narrow flares.

Xrc out of ones mentioned. I had them on my previous jk and had no problems. None of the ones mentioned offer protection but the xrc look best to me and I would get the again but I'm going for armor this time so either metal cloak or poison spyder this round. Here's a pic of my old jk with them
