Reviews for Bushwacker 10918-07 Flat Style Flares for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK 4 Door
Bushwacker really needs to retool the molds used to make mounting brackets. The state of the current molds are terrible. Horrible amounts of flash that need to be cleaned, major mold defects on some parts that will require a good bit of grinding to get it to even fit. I am a mechinical engineer by trade, and find it astonishing that they still consider these molds serviceable. I actually was sent a second set since they originally sent two rear left fenders in the first shipment. I inspected the brackets on both, and they were both in terrible shape.
Thankfully I have lots of tools at home, and was able to modify the brackets to fit, but this is just unacceptable for the price point. I'm especially disappointed that this is supposed to be a Made in America product. I've seen Chinese knock-off parts with far better quality and workmanship. While the end result came out nice, the effort to get there was just not worth it. I could not recommend these in good conscience unless the manufacturer addresses these quality issues. I'll upload a picture of the mold defects for reference.
Big shout to Quadratec though for their excellent customer service! They've always been a pleasure to deal with, and that really matters when you have to deal with subpar product.
There is a whole lot of messy mold work to clean up. The hardware seems cheap and i was missing a clip. They look alright, but it doesn't seem worth $600 to me. I'm not satisfied I would suggest spending a bit more on a better product.
Junk, Be prepared to spend most of your time finishing the job Bushwacker should have done. Have a wide variety of trimming tools on hand and a lot of time trying to get them to fit correctly if you choose these. Don't waste your money on these flares. This is the last time I buy a Bushwacker product.
