Question Xenon narrow flares on stock Rubi

I've had a bunch of problems breaking the clips on my front fenders. I don't feel like fixing them, because it's just going to happen again.

Anyway, I can't seem to find any pics of narrow Xenon flares on an otherwise stock JK.

I've got a 4dr Rubi, bone stock thus far. I don't have plans to lift it, or put bigger tires on it anytime soon... it's a DD for now.

How will the narrow Xenon's look on it? They're 1.5" narrower than stock fenders, correct? Will they look OK with the stock bumpers?

Thanks,

noot

noot, i have a stock JK with the wider flares.... with spacers it looks like this





I wish I went with the narrow flares, but for legal reasons, the wider ones were really my only choice, I think you will be happy with the narrow xenons.... the narrow xenons are 3" narrower than the wide ones.

oh, and lastly those stock flare clips are a joke, even if I was to go back to stock, I would use the hardware from these flares on the OEM ones..... Im thinking you could contact Xenon for a hardware pack and use that on your stockers.... might be the cheapest route to go. but then again the ability to install larger tires with no lift from the added clearance these flares give is an added bonus

Thanks everyone for the pics/etc. I guess it's just a matter of saving up the $$ now
