The fronts will never fit tight against the body behind the wheel.
It will provide some contrast for your darker color TJ. I think it will be subtle but also bold. I look forward to it.

That would really piss me off every time I looked at it. No way to drill the flare and grab one of the OE rivnuts?
Yup you have to cut. No way around it. If you don’t want to cut just keep your current flares. Most of the time these get installed after there has been damage or if there is a rust issue of some kind.
Your Jeep looks really good as it is. Not sure I could change the look if I were you!
No. You’ll get over it. I never notice. I have ww2ww sliders and I trimmed 3/16” off the edge to account for the slider. I’ve seen others add a bead of black silicone to cover the gap. I can take a pic of mine later if you want. Or just look @DrDmoney pic a couple posts above
I really wish the would offer the no flare option again. I had that on my 99 and thought it was great.
I run them in 4.5" flavor and really the look and functionality.
It's not that bad honestly. I trimmed the front my slider due to previous metal fenders that were on there when I bought the jeep. You could trim the flare to fit around the slider though. Here is a pic of my fender now. You can't really see daylight from the top down but you can looking up from underneath the flare/inner fender.
The rear flares I just drilled through the original flare holes in the tub from the back side. Then just used the original flare hardware to mount them rather than the provided self tappers.

It’s on a bracket mounted to the grill support. Easy to remove before driving in deep snow or big rocks.
Are those dipped? The CF pattern looks great.
Side note.. I just browsed 77 pages of images in your profile... good lord, your TJ is sweet. I think it's my Holy Grail TJ.
