There is no problem fitting them into
The only part shown here is the front fender guard. It is made up of 2 pieces.
Sarah, they are made of plastic that looks like diamond plate. These are not offered for the YJ, so I apologize. I appreciate your help.
I can't find any front piece that isn't plastic. I put it on my 2004 and it looks nice to me. I haven't been able to find one that is anything but plastic.

Like a glove fitting OJ Simpson's hands, these are perfect for my TJ 2004. *We used absolutely no trimming, heat guns, or other such method to achieve the perfect fit. Pull the tape from the cover, remove the lights, and take your time in lining up the screw holes in the cover with the light screw holes on the fender. Ensure that you clean the area where it is going to adhere A plus is that four longer screws are included for mounting the lights. There are about a dozen of these available for about $1.
I gave these four stars because of the price. The material is only 59 in, but it still looks nice. It's the WOW factor you pay for that makes the event memorable.
There are some here I like. They are priced at what they are for no reason. There have been disposable packaging products that must be on par with this product. I am not sure why these products are so expensive. I like them because of that. It's cheaper to have the damage repaired here than to have it fixed at a collision center. Damage resulting from chips and dents is covered. Metal fender is protected with this The price seems outrageous to me, although I like the product.
There is a lot of poor craftsmanship in this pair. Without extensive modifications like cutting, gluing or taping, diffrent hardware, and heat gun molding, they can not be installed on the fenders. There is a lip on both outboard sides of the product that interferes with the fender, causing it to not lay flat against it. Despite the fact that the product comes with screws, they are far too short. Despite the guards covering the whole area of the fender, you can still see a bit of the fender poking out above them. It is also absurd to spend $50+ on a pair of cheap plastic sunglasses. The Bushwacker brand fender guards will be tried first, but they are much more expensive, so if they don't fit perfectly then I'm giving.
Unless you want to spend hours trimming them, you need to buy these and take your time doing it. It was necessary to shave down the sides of the table with a Dremel to get both sides To get the fenders to sit straight, I had to heat them up and mold them to the fenders with a heat gun. Make sure you buy stainless steel screws at Lowe's or Home Depot. You won't be able to use the ones they provide. The pan head screw is what you are going to need. It has a head size of #8 and a length of 1". Pick up a small roll of 3M double sided tape (the adhesive is dark gray and the backing is red) at your local auto parts store. It will not be able to be held down by the provided tape.
All in all Despite being $50 for a molded piece of plastic, I expected it to fit better for a $50 product.
It is likely that the last owner had driven on the highway. On the driver's side there was a tiny crack to the blinker, which had been recessed a little If these bad boys are put on, with some manipulation, it will appear that no damage has occurred. I did double the tape thickness and added a few more strips for extra support. However, I agree with a lot of people that the tape could have been thicker.
It is easy to install them.
On the passenger side, the cover fit perfectly, but on the driver side it The driver's side of the Jeep did not appear to be properly cut because I heated it up with a heat gun to get them to at least go on the Jeep. Even though it worked, I am not all that thrilled with it. It would probably be easier for me to get rid of them if the Jeep wasn't black.
As a result of driving through a fence, my Jeep suffered a pretty good dent on the fender (had to purchase As far as the dent is concerned, it looks pretty good after I banged it out and covered it with this. The only issue is that the plastic won't stay in place on the corner, but I fixed that issue by heating it up and holding it down for a bit. The fence will never know I drove through it.
