About the Authentic Jeep Wrangler Fender Flares
Fender flares are one of the most visible exterior components on any Jeep Wrangler. When they fade, crack, or break from off-road use, the entire vehicle looks tired regardless of how clean the rest of the Wrangler is. Additionally, broken or missing flares create legal compliance issues in many US states that require tires to be covered by either body or flare material.
A set of authentic OEM Jeep Wrangler fender flares restores correct factory presentation, provides legal tire coverage, and protects the body fender lip from off-road damage. We inspect every flare set: surface condition, mounting tab integrity, clip engagement points, color uniformity across the set, and flare-to-flare match.
Get your Wrangler back to factory exterior presentation with an authentic OEM flare set today.

Brandon Tatum –
Replaced the sun-faded factory flares on my 2014 JK Unlimited (Sport trim) with a verified used set from Vaz. They confirmed JK generation and full set of 4 before shipping. Surface condition was much better than my faded originals, mounting tabs all intact, matte black depth consistent across the set. Installation took about an hour. Wrangler looks years younger now. Great alternative to spending $600+ on new Mopar.
Megan Hartford –
Picked up a front pair for my 2003 TJ Sport that lost a flare to a branch strike on a trail run. Vaz confirmed TJ generation and front-pair specifically. Donor was a 2004 TJ which they disclosed. Flares match my existing rears well, matte black depth is very close. One star off because one flare has a small surface scuff that they did disclose with photos, but a bit more visible in person than the photo suggested. Otherwise great service.
