The best Automotive Fender Flares: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Cheapest ones I could find on Amazon. No huge problems with mud on the Jeep anymore -- actually kinda nice to not get mud in the car when the window's down.

A lot of cheap flares want you to cut the pinch seam above the rear tires. As much a you want to, don't (unless you plan to weld that yourself later). If the more expensive options don't require you cut the pinch seam, its worth it - pay the $500 for them.

The flares I bought wanted me to cut that entire seam except for six inches (which had two pinch welds and that's it. Instead of cutting all that, I did a cut-and-fold to preserve the pinch welds, body sealed it, and then used a heat gun, saw, and plenty of cursing to reform the ABS flares to fit around the modified fender well. It turned out alright in the end but was tons of effort.

Am able to fit 33x10.5" with a RC 3" lift + IRO 1" shackles.

I had mixed results on my LJ with paining the fenders. Mine are starting to fade on my JKU and I'm thinking of getting the cheap-o amazon fenders so I don't have to keep messing with them.

Until I buy new ones, I have been using Meguiars back to black and that makes them look really good for a month or so.

1) you're apparently asking "who will break the law"
2) that law sucks... add Massachusetts to the list of where I'll never live
3) maybe some stick-on fender flares for during the inspection?

I have the same ones, it's these:

Paramount Automotive 17192 Black... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C73ICNO?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

And you'll have to contact them directly for replacement, they're non standard sized and burn out frequently I'm told.

I put these on my 05 that I was also trying to keep somewhat budget friendly (after blowing a ton on lift, lockers, tires) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C73ICNO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

If you watch them they will fluctuate in price a ton. I think I got mine for $160.

Hey landaroo!

Thank you, really appreciate the compliments!

As for the flares, they are actually just the EZ flares from Amazon (garage weather stripping that you may find at hardware store): EZ Flares - The Original... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071G6FGM6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Testing out the look and gonna try if they'll help with the mud/rocks on the trails

Thanks man! Looks like you have a similar year jeep to mine. Mine is a 2014. I was just thinking my fender flares would look great on your jeep.

Hooke Road Wrangler JK Steel Fender Flares Front & Rear Flat Fender Mud Guards Compatible with Jeep Wrangler JK & Unlimited 2007-2018 4PCS Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JOMHMC8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_8ZSMYJPQE24KM6PXWQSH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

They are pretty good quality for the money.

Thanks! These are generic flares I cut down to fit. They are not perfect but get the job done. I plan on replacing the fronts with custom fiberglass or aluminum ones to improve aero but that is a winter project. Up close, this car is a mess of scratches, chips, dings, dents, bad paint and poor panel alignment. Shes not going to be winning any car shows but the rule for racecars is it just needs to look good at 50 feet at 50MPH.

Realistically, the car looks good from 20 feet away but the imperfections start to become noticeable any closer. It's not that I don't try to make it look nice, it's just pretty takes a back seat to functionality. With as much abuse, custom work and go fast parts the car has, there is never a shortage of work just to keep her running even if nothing breaks. She's currently sitting in my shop right now with the rear suspension pulled apart to fix a few minor things I noticed from last weekend.

EZ flares are a flexible fender flare that i plan on using once i get to that point, they have 2" and 1" i linked the 2" stuff you will need two "rolls" to do a vic, at least that's what i measured

I have a set of EZ Flares (AMAZON) on my flares as technically they would fail MA inspection without them. Of course, I see Jeeps all over the place with tires extending more than mine do that apparently have no issues passing.

I'd just DIY it personally w/ a $50 fender roller from Amazon.

I found one on amazon Not sure if it’s the exact same one but it looks really similar

U-drive 4pcs Black Steel Fender Flare Fit 2007-2016 Jeep JK Wrangler https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G1GRQBM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_vjOYGX8tr5i1t I got these and they fit perfect and are the best priced ones I have found. The price is for all 4.

I would go with these ones to be honest. They are likely made in the same factory as smittybilt for almost half the price.

So you'd rather get these for $700 (price with the black coating) which are just the front fenders over these front and back fenders set for $500?
