A few quirks but all around good.
Let me start by saying that, while I am an avid jeep-est (whatever you want to call it), I got these mostly for the looks. I am running a 2015 2 door rubicon on 35" tires (stock rims w 1.5" spacers) and a 2.5" aev lift, and while I had previously had no problems with tire rub, these obviously provide quite a bit more clearance, to the point where it almost makes my 35" tires look a bit small (could easily fit 37"s which I am considering). Overall I really like the look though. I am also a huge researcher and kind of cheep, so obviously I spent a lot of time weighing my options (these, cheaper knock offs, aluminum, steel etc). The main stream big names we ruled out pretty quickly based on the high costs (though I do rely like the poison spyder steal ones based on the beefy construction that you can literally stand on. And if money wasn't a factor I would have gotten those). I also quickly ruled out the knockoffs all around (even though they look and probably are very similar) based on experience: Every single cheap or knock off part I have bought for my jeep thus far (there have been many) have either failed or been replaced in the last year alone (am on my 3rd winch in the last year, for example, before buying a nice warn). Also while I agree with others that these are still a little pricey for what they are, they o come with a great warranty, are well made and as far as the major looks and performance upgrade they provide actually quite a deal comparatively.... Anyways, install: was honestly not very difficult, nor did it take more than the most basic of tools (couple ratchets, screw driver, knife, and something to cut with if using the old fender innards which I did) but it did take quite a while as there are a lot of steps involved (I split it up but woul say roughly 5-6hrs). Cutting the inner fenders: I think people have made way to big a deal of this as it wasnt hard or nearly exact as you would expect (just watch the video) but I used a small dremmel to cut but something as simple as a box knife would work as well. And the cleanness of the lines etc dosnt much matter as it is covered by a half inch or so lip on the new flares. Anyways, in the end they look great, make my jeep look biggier/tougher and allow for much more tire clearance, fit and finish are good and weren't very difficult to install. Also, while they are a little pricey for big hunks of plastic, they are quality and the bang for your buck is there. Negatives would be that they take quite a while to install, and may make your tires look small with all that extra room. Oh and I would also suggest to Bushwacker and you to be careful as the provide the exact number of every part, which dosnt leave much room for error. Luckally everything went well for me but it would be nice if they included a couple extra feet of stickey tape and a few extra screws and clips as loosing anything could be quite frustrating... Pictures attached. Cheers!ps. one more thing I just thought of. Which while not necessary I did buy a $12 pair of clip pliers (like the guy used in the video I watched) and I was happy that I did as it made the disassembly of the old flairs go much quicker than it otherwise would have plus they will be useful in the future with other projets.

Flares look great & add clearance! Install is long... but very doable
Installed these on my 2014 JK and they look awesome! Very happy with this purchase!Pros:1. Flares look great!2. Seem to be sturdy and well made3. Added flex and avoids fender rubbing4. Although tedious & time consuming, install was really not that bad. It is close to bolt on - take your fenders off, measure and cut your splash shields, install the new flares. See below for install tips.Cons:1. Pricey - however most good flares are and relatively speaking these are a lot less than metal flares!2. A very obvious improvement Bushwacker could/should make to simplify the install is to provide some sort of paper template for the splash shields to ensure they are cut accurately instead of having every single person go through the trial and error themselves! This is the place where you might screw up and until you've done one, it's unclear exactly where to cut - so why they don't do this, I really don't understand.3. Several other steps of the install could/should have been done by Bushwacker and saved me over an hour (see #2 below).4. Included b&w instructions are hard to decipher. Bushwacker should print them in color (you can find the online color pdf but better yet watch the video mentioned below!)The most common complaint on other reviews is around the install - it took me 7 hours total by myself. Here's my suggestions to get through it:1. Watch the Bushwacker Fender Flare Install youtube video by AutoCustoms.com. Watch it again if anything is not clear. Excellent step-by-step explanation that will answer most questions & save a lot of time.2. Do the following things the night before the install a) Install the rubber edge trim on all 4 flares, b) install the speed clips - this means you also need to trim all the extra plastic on the inner pieces so you can get the clips on, and c) install the front fender lights. These steps took me a little over an hour and at the end of the next day I was really glad I had done them the night before (and a little annoyed that I had to do them).3. Have proper tools available - spend $10 to get a specialized tool to pop the body clips off (Wilmar clip removal or similar), a quality utility blade, an awl or something similar to align the fender holes, two long extensions to help install the lights, and some kind of electric cutting device for cutting the splash shields. I used an angle grinder - a hacksaw would have worked but taken 2-3 times as long.4. Be especially careful on front splash shield cuts. Rear fender shields were easy for me to get right after watching the video and holding the original shields against the body. Front was tricker so I was conservative and didn't cut enough - I had to cut them twice but better than cutting too much.5. Getting the fenders to align to allow the final screws to go into the inner supports was the most time consuming step of the install for me - it took me an hour on the first flare. On the others I marked the speed clip holes with the white grease pencil so I could see when they were aligned; this helped me do this step in 1/2 the time or less.Good luck!
