Jeepspeed Fiberglass Flares Which Ones?

What Fiberglass flares are people using? Pros - Cons? Widths?

I see that Hannemann, Glassworks, Ajax, & Duffco make them. Anyone else?

What about rear flares? The only fiberglass I found was Duffco. Bushwacker makes the cut-outs and Rustys has some, but I think they are plastic.

They probably would look cooler on a two-door...

I agree, and I am running a two door. This was the only picture I could find on their site for rear fenders.

I will, I bought a pair for my zj. If I was Rusty I'd be looking for another glass outfit.

I went with Hannaman. As you saw, the fit is pretty horrific. I am not really too concerned as they will probably get ripped off on a regular basis, but they certainly would not work for a show car or clean mall cruiser.

FYI: The hood gap was the most appauling. There is about 1/2 to 3/4" gap all the way around.
