was definitely hoping the BYOD rail would be there or at least a release date.

I know, right?!? Why do people always complain about high prices?Did you guys think these parts are going to be cheap? Lol
This will be just another issue to complain about on Bronco6g
$80 OUCH!
I look at something like this and immediately think "Man, that's high."$349 for fender flare delete kit is insulting. Hard pass as I will wait for someone else to do them for less than half that.
Yep, move along if it bothers you so much.
Cool storyor don't buy if you can't afford it?
LOL
Complain all you want. Bronco6g owners are swimming in ad revenue as you guys continually post threads about how you guys are unhappy about everything.

Then I immediately think "I can make them cheaper than that."
So you grab some cardboard, make a template.
Procure some steel.
Break out the plasma.
Clean up the edges with a grinder.

Paint (and bought primer, sandpaper, paint, grinding pads, plasma consumables)
Procure stainless fasteners or paint steel ones so they don't rust.
Then I find I have something that works well, only spent about $120, and used 4 hours of my Saturday.
All this to say sometimes it's better to just pay and buy and sometimes it makes sense to make it yourself.
At $349 I'll probably just buy them and spend that 4 hours making money on something else or fishing.
or don't buy if you can't afford it?

Honestly...Cool story
Always.Don't forget about shipping as these can't be bent to put into a smaller box. Yes! it is free shipping but you know damn well it is being added to the final cost.
Here's an example, Ford Raptor oem flares (4) cost $1200+ and has to be ship on a pallet.

True, but aren't the stock Sas flares only $450. I wasn't expecting the delete kit to be almost equal to that.all these companies are going to price their bronco stuff high. They will take full advantage of the popularity. Besides, look how much the beauty rings are from ford, over $400 for a set. You can pay up now and have the stuff or wait years till the prices drop.
@Raptor911 Spot-on. $349 is high, sounds high, but that effort, time, R&D, shipping, etc. isn't ever free either. 4WP needs to pay for that and make profit. They are a business and that's what businesses do.
In the end we have to decide as individuals whether we are ok with the product at said price or not.
Personally I'd like to get them for less than $200, but it is what it is. I'll pay their $349, pop them on, and go enjoy a cold beverage by a river somewhere and admire my delete kit between casts.
if they were from ford I would guess they would be in the $300 range anywayTrue, but aren't the stock Sas flares only $450. I wasn't expecting the delete kit to be almost equal to that.
