Bushwacker vs Gorilla Warflares
Having had both, I can offer you an unbiased opinion. The Bushwackers have better quality as far as finish and looks hands down. Having said that, I just bought a set of Gorillas with the blemish and sold my Bushwackers. The finish isnt as good on the non-blemished pair as the BW flares, and the "blemished" ones are more than just a "Milky finish stain" they say they are. Its more like acid or something dripped on them, as mine have pitting and material missing in addition to the discoloration, and the edges are trimmed for sh!t, guess they think the welting would do the coverup for them instead of makin the flare clean & right in the first place. Since mine is going to be more off-road oriented I'll take the more durable and flexible Gorilla and also the bigger cutout as a compromise. I believe they will stand up to more abuse due to the thickness and flexibility, but they wont win any awards for quality control or fit & finish.
What they (Wild Horses) also dont mention is the rear flare has a moulded ridge for the lower rear body line. They dont give you enough picture detail to see it on thir site, but its there, and if you do the "extreme" install you'll have a bulge to try & flatten with a hair dryer or heat gun & then try & screw down through the bulge to keep it against the body & unnoticable. The other gay thing is if you do the "extreme install" & have the top of the flare at the body line, the front flare bottoms will both reach to the bottom of the fender & rocker, but on the rear, only the back corner will reach to the bottom of the body, the front edge of the rear flare stops about the halfway point of the rocker panel... great if you have cut rockers, sucks for everyone else. This in my opinion is a major design oversight and screws up the look I was trying to achieve... a "finished" look.. and with only 3 edges moulded long enough, the front edge of the rear flare stopping halfway down the rocker is cheeseball. Well... looks like they got it 75% right. If you want the "standard" install, the Bushwackers look WAAAAAAAY better. If you want indestructable and more clearance and arent worried about how gay the one corner sets, go with the Gorillas. They could have put 15 minutes more thought into it and had a great product, but I guess "good" is good enough for them.
