Personally, I didn't originally care for the plastic fenders, but then they started to grow on me, thinking of how many times we had to pull out the yj fenders from those random trees that would pop up in tight corners, plastic is far more flexible. Also, maybe jeep is being smart, and thinking ahead, knowing people will install bigger tires.

I still dont know how i feel about the jk tho. I do like the 2 doors more than the 4 doors. The grill seems too curved for a jeep, and was wondering, is the JK grill plastic, or metal?

I also have noticed how the front fenders, and body lines are actually more like the old flat fenders, because the body tapers, and the fenders are separate.
