Default Experience with rusty's flares

I've been looking at rusty's cut out flares like the ones in the picture. Has anyone had these personally and what were your likes/dislikes with them?

I installed a set on my 99. I love them. I did use the "indestructible " one, and they have held up well. My 16 year old (who is still wheeling by Braille) ran them into a tree and it only scuffed them. They really do bend and pop back int shape. The install was no problem, just follow the directions and purchase a good rivet gun.

I have this same exact set NIB that I bought for my 99 and never installed 2 yrs. ago will sell $200 + shipping.

The rivets rip through. They didn't last very long before I decided to take them off to sell before they got destroyed.

I think they do look good....would depend on durability for me.
