I have had mine for a year and they hold up well. The bolts do have a slight discoloration but overall I am very happy. I live on a limerock road so they almost always dirty and sandy to some degree.

They are a PIA to install. I am putting on mine now.
As mentioned the fronts are not too bad but the rears were tough. It was just hard to get the gap even on the top between the body and the xrc fender.
I have no problem pumping gas on a pump with fuel recovery, I just had to remove the thingy that holds the gas cap so I could get it out of the way.
An interesting tidbit. My highway fuel economy went from 15.3 to 17.2 with just that addition of the fenders and a narrow front bumper.

While they look good on the jeep, i'm actually not happy with them for a number of reasons. The flares would put me legal for my area, and i'd at least be safe from a ticket if someone ever felt the need to pull me over.
Thanks!
