Default I Need Flares and Advise Please!

Guys, I am in need of some new flares for my 2000 build. I am leaning toward the Rusty's flex flares. Do you have feedback on these? Also would you recommend them or a different company? This rig will be receiving about 50% street and 50% off road usage so I cannot consider bushcrackers.

Napier Precision. Doug is a real good guy to deal with. I have a set of his prototypes when he was first designing them. I love them, they are very tough, I've hit trees with them and catch the lugs of my Swampers on them all the time. I was about ready to order the Rusty's flex flares when I saw these and started asking him about them.

I've also trimmed mine quite a bit, leaving about 3/4" at the top and they are still rugged. (Doug didn't recommend this, but he's happy they are holding up well).

There's some videos up on them too:

If you have any questions about them, let me know.
