The Xenon are same material as factory flares, my factory flares are like band new, But I replaced them with Xenon 6" flares for the TJ for better tire clearance. One hint of advice, stay away from Steel Horse. I have never heard anything good about their products except they are cheep. Polystyrene that they use WILL crack in the cold, there stainless steel rusts, etc. Go with Xenon or even Warn. I believe Bushwacker and a few others are also starting to make them now also, however, I do not have experience with the other companies.

good luck.
