Ok, so I think it would be seriously bad A to put flat fenders on my tj... Whether it be done myself, or bought from somewhere. Questions about doing this. Does having flat fenders cause any more air resistance against the jeep? If it does, is it very bad/noticable going down freeways?

My flat fenders hurt my gas mileage thats for sure, but I don't notice it trying to blow the Jeep around or anything.

yah, i forgot to mention the mpg part... thats more what i was getting at... i didnt really care about the blowing around part ( seriously lol, its a box, there is no aerodynamics to it :D )
