I don't have them, but I have seen several jeeps with them on and they look great.

I wish they had the geckos with pre-attached fenders. Pretty sure my only option for aftermarket fenders/rear quarter armor is going to be the evo's since i banged up that rear panel

How do the mounting bolts attach with these? Seems like you cant reach the back on most of those bolt locations. Im not really into the body mounted thread inserts either, like on the Xenon flares. Would rather just rivet if possible.

They fit extremely well. Easy install. Look great paint matched. You can pretty much do what you want with them to make you happy.

Here are mine with a comp cut on my 4dr:

Lined the bottom portion up with oem mounting points and then welded the upper portion of the fender to my Or-Fab corner armor.

How was the install on these? I have Xenon flares and I'm looking at the Gecko skins but I worried about the nutserts.

I have to gecko skins from the preorder. They do attach with nutserts, do yourself a favour and buy yourself a better tool than what they come with. I had some fitment issues with my bushwacker flats, customer service was exceptional in fixing my issues.
