Got sprayed with Line-x and put on yesterday.

I am very happy with the fit of these. I opted for the skeletos upgrade and these things are much more solid than I even anticipated. They are expensive and I suspect many wont see the cost to benefit but they really are nice upgrade.

Did you have the fenders completely encapsulated? As in, did they spray the whole fender? Parts that sit against body? Any fitment issues? I am raptor lining mine but am concerned with any fitment issues. I had my PSC 50" brackets Line-X'd and there was a fitment issue because of the line-x on the back of the brackets

I had the fenders sprayed completely except the back mounting surface. I wasn't sure if that would affect the fit or not but everywhere else was sprayed. $180 for the set.

The mounting brackets that come with it I just rattled canned black and I re-installed the fender liners which was a breeze. Just pay attention to your cut.

I have been following this thread for a bit. I love the Nemesis flares look and all of the installs came out looking great!
JK-FREAK, I love that color match.
rsbmg, thank you for the picture; I think that is the first time I have seen a good picture not on 37s; I think my mild build would be Ok with the flares.
(I am on 315/70R17s on a 4.5bs and a TF 2.5 spring lift, and will be until the Duratracs wear out. )

I have been debating a couple of things before I order:

1st: Has anyone got an opinion on the new RockSlide Engineering fender flares? They are new, and there isn't much information even from RS-E, I have only seen the pictures on their demo vehicles, etc.
They seem to have a similar rear fender look to the Nemesis, and the front has an option for either a MCE-like rounded edge or full coverage like stock. They have the reinforcement behind the fender, but no option for reinforcement like nemesis. Seems they retail $1k for the combo pre-painted. Jeep JK Fender Flares Rock-Slide Engineering

2nd: The Nemesis flare skeletos upgrade: is it worth it? For those who have it, do you have both front and rear?

3rd: what do you do for blinkers with the nemesis fenders?

Thanks in advance!

I have both skeletos. The $100 upgrade was worth it for me. They make them much more reinforced, but the flares are pretty thick. You'd be ok without depending on what kind of wheeling you do. If you're on the fence & want to save a little $$$, I'd suggest maybe get them on just the rears where you'll more likely need the reinforcement when bumping through tight spots.

I used these for side indicators:
