Default Metal Cloak vs Poison Spyder Fenders

Any opinions on which fender is better? The only downside I see to MC with their Overline style is the price and how narrow it is. I don't want to be that narrow so I would need to buy the adapter/ extension for the fronts. Could go with their Overland version but not sold on that. PSC makes great products and I like their look. I would want to go with the aluminum version to keep weight down.

Any pros/ cons to these? Opinions and pictures appreciated.

I can't speak to MC fit finish or quality... I love PSC, and their fenders have the best lines. Install is a flaming pita, but it's worth it.

MC is expensive for sure but how many tube fenders do you see a 260lb guy get on them and jump up and down. Poison makes great stuff and I believe ACE actually came out with some also.

The fit and finish of the metal cloak are very nice. One of the best looking fenders out there and you can remove them if you want when on the trails. I think they have a couple of different width choices to choose from. They are also bent to give even more tire clearance over the poison spyder.

I've got the PSC fenders in aluminum and I love them. Fitment is top notch as well as overall strength. When you install the fenders you also install reinforcement brackets that help strengthen the fender. This will help prevent crumpling the sheet metal. Install for the fenders wasn't my favorite thing to do because of the nutserts but as long you take your time you can get them on in a weekend with no problems.

I've had RiverRaider Tube fenders, Evo Fenders, and PSC fenders, only the PSC fenders have stood up to the Wheeling of MR LIKA.

Here's Metalcloak fenders with no lift and 37's. Fit and finish is great and they are very strong, Ive had them on for a year and dont regret getting them.

Am I correct to think that you buy the MC bracket and fender and then need to buy the attachment to make it into the standard width?
Cost of about 1k?
Are they wider than standard or the same?
They look very good, I may consider them as I now can shoot rocks into the cab with my 35's and stock fenders!!
