Anyone have ATS fender flares?

I've been trying to decide on fender flares for a while and I think I'm going to go after a set of these. They look a lot like Xenons, but are definitely cheaper and have the option of buying them painted from the manufacturer. I was going to get some OEM flares, but lately haven't been able to find any AZ Beige ones unless I go through the dealer and those are a little over $400. If you do have the ATS flares, how are they? Fit, finish, etc.? Anyone find them cheaper than $399 painted?

I've also considered buying them unpainted (obviously cheaper, about $265) and putting them on the truck as is, but I'm still leaning more towards painted ones. Any opinions on this?

I bought the cheap $99 flares on e bay. I had AZ biege paint mixed up and painted and clear coated them myself. Looked good until the 3m tape started coming off a year later. Will probably rip these off as soon as I get some Bushwackers when I can afford them.

I am looking at adding flares to my 06 SCREW. I would like to see the ATS flares as well.

I have them and like them. I had to remove them after a year and put new 3m tape on them as it started to come loose. Other than that they are good quality and the paint is flawless. More pics in gallery!

They are 2" wide. So I am guessing that the stock fender lip is 1/2" or so, That would make them 1 1/2" wider than the stock fender. I have 285-60/18's on a 6" backspace and they are even with the flares in the rear and about a half inch out in the front on stock suspension.
