Those look gorgeous. The Extreme Cut?

I ordered a set of these on Sunday. Seeing this makes me even more excited. Did it come with the gas tank door plate too?

And did you have any fitment issues? I saw someone mention today that there are fitment issues with these

You know you want flat flares.

Also, "Jeep" discolored very quickly. Mine are less than two months old, and I threw them away instead of putting them in the YJ.
Well thanks! Guess I know to get something better in 2 months. For the price I thought they'd at least be good.
