I saw picts of these a few weeks back when they were super secret.  I wonder how well they hold their form at highway speeds.  They don't look too thick and there doesn't seem to be any strengthing to them other then the trimmed fender.

Actually, there probably isn't enough drag on them to bend.

I like how the thread ends with Moz getting dissed on page 3.   :lol:

why wouldn't they fit on a YJ? - i think they'll fit just fine, most likely the vertical trim line needs to be back a bit more (towards the door so you'll need to cut the hole length not just at the top.

I'm tempted to order a set and see if I can get them to work with my CJ fenders.

not sure about the radius on the edge - if it's the same with the YJ should prolly work but for some reason i think that is not as sharp as the yj/tj fenders so that might not fit. also, not sure how far out from the edge of the front grill or the front of the hood is the edge of the fender, you should compare that with a TJ, if the top of the fender is wider the edge of these might not be covered by the hood (i think the hood width is narrower in front compared to a TJ or YJ)

I'm sure the guy will eventually have YJ and CJ versions.  Might want to email them.

There is another issue.  YJ's use two holes for the hood latch.  TJ's have one and two alignment holes.  Personally, I'd rather have TJ style as they are easier to latch.

Hi JJ,
 
Thanks for your interest!  We do have plans to make these for the CJs.  :)   I am not sure yet on an ETA, but these are very high on the list!
 
 
thanks again,
 
Mike
