I worked on rear ones for a while, but decided it was too much trouble. I would have to charge too much, you would be better off buying an aftermarket rear bumper.
They are a difficult problem. Once you take the wings off, the angles of the bumper are irregular and stick out. To make them flush mount you would have to cut away too much plastic to be able to mount them effectively. If you made them more 3D to get around the parts that stick out you would risk doing more damage to the plastic quarter panels. The aluminum would not break off like the plastic ones and would could tear the quarters out.
These are great. I broke one of my wings off on the trail. Nice inexpensive solution and I never have to worry about it again. They will do just fine and look pretty good, till I can afford a new bumper.
Hey would you consider you producing these in black plastic, either plain or diamond plate style? Should be a fraction of the cost to make or buy. Thanks.
What is the ship/receive time to Dallas/Fort Worth if I were to order today, June 22, 2016? These are real nice and I’d like to purchase, based on the receiving time.
Not at this time. Unfortunately, a tree fell on my FJ last year and I no longer have a donor vehicle for a model.
But aside from that, I don’t think it’s a good solution. I think changing the wings on the rear to something less breakable would put the quarter panels at risk.

The diamond plate inserts are great! No more broken wings and a much more aggressive look, IMO, especially with chunky tires and aftermarket wheels. Priced right, shipped fast, easy to install.
I want to order some and I e-mailed you to see if you are still in business but there was no reply. Please let me know if wing eliminators are still available and then I will order. I see a reply that you are still making them but that was in 2016
You gotta get some for the back too. I would get a pair, but not just for the front… wouldn’t look right.
Lots of people have aftermarket front bumpers too and want to eliminate just the rear wings.

Sorry, no. I’m not a fan of a plastic solution. Yes, they would be a fraction of the cost, but in my opinion they look cheap and flimsy.

Anything selectable on the purchase page is in stock and ready to ship. I can ship within a day, 2-3 days delivery, tops.
Hi there,
Do you still make these bumper ends?
Yes, still making them.
In stock and ready to ship.
Any progress on a solution for the rear bumper?

Are these going to be sold again ever? Been checking back with no luck yet
Sorry for the delay. They are available now.

Yes, we are still making them. Currently stocked and ready to ship.
Just reaching out to see if the wing deletes are still available. Thanks!
Yes. I am still selling them. I am currently out of stock. Should be available in a couple of weeks.
