Pros:
Light weight

Cons:
Pricier than steel versions
Gouge easier when rubbed on surfaces like rock.

Add pro.... Doesn't rust like steel for those that deal with winter salted roads

Sorry for confusion. I know the pros and cons of aluminum. I meant the variations of the different brands and sizes, or is that purely cosmetic? Primarily interested in owners experiences with styling and function of various types and some photos with stubbies on 35's or 37's and a 3.5" lift.

Oh sorry,

MY two favorites are the Nemesis and PSC. both integrate the stock liner well. The Genrights look amazing, but only hang on the sheet metal. I also like the Metalcloak but they are only available in steel at this time.

I have the PSC (narrow front) AL.

I just shared this picture in another thread and it was handy



I like that the PSC come with support brackets and gussets, but the gussets do make for tougher cleaning.

Your are right and I REALLY like the styling, but the gusseting would be a total PITA to get mud and crud out of!

Edit to add pic.

True that's the only thing I don't like. I wish they would have sheet metal the bottom also. Then it would be very clean. Still on my list of mods though. I think they will be creating a tube fender also. Should be cheaper I would think.

Aries tube fenders are aluminum and about half the price of the other brands. I got all 4 for $600. I couldn't see spending a grand or more on fenders when these look and function just as good
