MCE Fender Discussion

[Camodude622]

Seriously considering buying some MCE fenders from quadratec while they have them on sale. Question is do I just buy the front and cut my stock rears to match? Or should I just go for the full MCE fender set?

Fronts only are $180
Rears only are $210
Full set is $360

So if I only got the fronts and ended up not liking my cut stock rears I'd be paying $30 more and be out the price I could have sold my stock flares for. Post some pictures of the full set if you've got them and post some of the front MCE flares and stock rears! I'm also thinking about paint matching them to my Sahara, so if you've done that post your pictures too! Thanks in advance!

I'd get the full set so it matches.

Aren’t the Sahara flares the same as Rubicon? If so, no cut. If not, then experiment.

Listen to @rasband. He's balls deep.

What does that even mean?

It just doesn’t look to terribly difficult to cut my flares now to look like the $210 ones. You have any closer pictures of the rear?

This is the way.

I bought the front and rear, left the stock rears on, then sold the Jeep, and sold the MCE rears separately. Not the most cost effective way to do it but plenty of people put other front fenders on without making the rears match it, so why not?

might not look difficult but then again it might actually be..

the cost of the amount of time i'd spend trying to get the rear ones to look decent would be way higher than getting the matching rear ones for $180..

did you go with 3” or 4.5”?

 

[Blackjack]

I am running six inch.

 

[JMT]

4.5”

Those were the 3". Now I run fenderless and get crap spit up all over me all the time

 

[Blackjack]

4.5”

Those 4.5 inch look so much better. Too bad AST up here says I have to run the 6.

I agree, don't cut up a set of Sahara (Rubicon) flares.

And paint the MCE’s the same color as your wheels? Idea.

Well they’re on my Sahara but aren’t true Sahara flares.

I think it’s happening, if I decide to get the fenders.
