Or if you really want aluminum don't forget to take a look at Nemesis. That's the route I went and can honestly say if you melted down all 4 Aries fenders you would probably have enough material to make 1 Nemesis flare.
As someone who has the Aries fenders installed for about a year and a half I have to completely agree with this. The fitment is poor and I had to spend a lot of time painting behind the fenders and fitting them to hide the poor fitment. And I have no doubt on a slight impact they will crumple like plastic fenders but not rebound back to shape, which may be he only good thing they definitely won't transfer impacts to the body sheet metal, lol

I think you get what you pay for with them and they are not for wheeling rigs. When these inevitably crumple I'll have to replace them with something better.

I just installed Nemesis flares, Odyssey front, Notorious rear, and can't say enough good things about them. From the detailed installation instructions to the quality & fit, first rate all the way. You really do get what you pay for.

I have the genright aluminum and fit is perfect no gaps. I have stood on mine makes getting into the side of the engine easier and great for a tool holder.

I agree that you get what you pay for. I have genright and poison spyder armor. I will say both have a fine product. I think genright is a little better. Better mounting hardware from genright.
