Default After market inner wheel well liners ? Needs opinions

I've been running dremel cut flat fenders for about 1.5 years now. I butchered up the inner fender wells, and while okay, they don't protect some of the areas from mud and debris.

Quadratec has these: http://www.quadratec.com/products/12510_5201_07.htm

Rugged Ridge inner fender liners for use with aftermarket fenders. They seem like exactly what I need, but they're pricey. Anyone run these or a similar product ? I'm wondering what the fit & finish is like.

I bought these as I butchered my inner fenders with the saw: http://www.**********.com/JK-Aluminu...lls-p/3290.htm

I was too macho and made one cut opposed to multiple small cuts and ended up slicing too much the first time. What side did you hack? I have the original drivers side if that is the side you started on.

With the MC's inner fenders, I was able to get them to work for the most part. So you know, they are made to work with their fenders so one of the bolts doesn't line up with anything. I did not install them as they were meant to be installed. By that, I mean that the inner fender that goes in the middle is meant to be attached to a bolt hanging down. Instead, I sandwiched the inner fender between the inner body and fuse box/battery tray. I hope that made a bit o sence. If you need pictures, let me know. By doing this, I was able to get it to be snug and firm with just one bolt since the other hole didn't line up.
With the front part, I had trouble bolting in the front bolt. After 30 minutes of banging my head against the wall, I realized if I removed the turn signal housing, it would provide me direct access to the bolt. In the end, the inner fenders provide good protection. I did install them bare but will eventually take them off and paint them black when I have the time. I tell you, removing the battery tray sucked and that is why I am procrastinating it.
