Default NEWER Xenon flat style fender flares opinion

I've been doing alot of researching on the xenon flat flares and have seen alot of mixed reviews. Alot of the reviews talk about the warping and sagging, but mention that xenon has been coming out with steps to eliminate this. I have seen any posts about them after 2012, and want to ask you guys: Does anyone who had the xenon narrow flat flares recently installed (last 2 years) still have problems with sagging or warping? I was thinking of going with bushwacker, but i really want to keep the paint match theme going. BTW, i would also consider trimming the fender, but one of my flares got mangled by a dear and the cost to replace oem is pretty close compared to four new aftermarket flares.

I had a set of Xenons with their stupid plastic stiffeners and hated them. Threw them in the dumpster, replaced with a set of Bushwackers. Bushwackers can be painted to match your rig.

Have you looked at the MCE plastic fenders or the Hurricane plastic fenders. I have seen and touched the MCE fenders and for plastic are really sturdy. Not much more than the ones you're looking at and will most likely look better and hold up longer.
