The crazy thing is though, someone will pay 6k for that. I personally think that's nuts, but I guess if you want it bad enough

OP
When you have something that rare, you can ask whatever you want for it. The price may seem stupid (and I personally think it is), but I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that even at 6k, it won't last long.
While I do think some of the AEV stuff for the TJs is pretty neat, I am by no means that obsessed with it that I would pay absurd prices to own it.
The other issue I have with the highline kits is that if you crack one of those fender flares, good luck on ever finding a replacement. If you do, it will cost a small fortune. For that reason, I'd probably be afraid to drive a TJ with an AEV highline

It’ll sell at that price and I wouldn’t be surprised if multiple people would want it. People spend stupid amounts of money on way dumber shit than an AEV Highline kit haha. Least if they want to resell it they can make their investment back and some.
Wow! $6k for the kit, plus another $1500 - $2000 to get them painted. I can think of numerous other ways to spend $8K+!

OMG yes! Crazy price...
The smart thing to do would just be to do one of the Jeep West highlines that Dave does. They actually look really good too.
Talk to @David Kishpaugh and google “Jeep West TJ highline”. You’ll see what he does with the hood and factory fenders by moving them up. Looks awesome and is a fraction of the price.

Hope he is exact when making the cuts. That top pic the hood is way off. You’ll get hood flutter like a motherfuc&$&. Cheap way to do a highline I guess
IDK, not really fond of the fenders running over the grill. i cut mine and tucked them back around the grill. i do wish i had found a way to pull the top corners in but that'd really fold the fender, it could be cut and pulled then filled but that's a good bit of extra work.
i got a body guy that is really interested in doing some hoods for me. OE steel hoods trimmed and new rolled edges, not the straight cut i have.
the only issue i see is that not all are the same cut. some come almost to the top of the headlamp and some go right up to the top.
mine came out ok, but the next will be better.

He's gotten a lot better. Those photos were when he started doing this well over a decade ago. I've seen one of the more recent ones in person and he's pretty much mastered it.
Not as cool as an actual AEV highline, but I suppose if you ever need a fender flare there is no issue there. And of course, it's a lot cheaper too.
