Lightbulb Fender Flare/Cladding Alternative

I was searching online one night for fender flares for my 4-door Jimmy which you all know is like trying to **** up a wall! Anyway I came across this website that offers a unique alternative to 4-door Blazer/Jimmy owners 98-up that got screwed over in the fender flare department. What I’m talking about is a complete running board/molded flare combo! What is your take on this product? I'm on the fence about it myself and of course I live in Canada so if I wanted to buy this, it would cost me a fortune on shipping & import fees.

It looks like something that Grandpas Blazer would have on it. There is a Jimmy at the local junk yard that has running boards much the same as that, even the lower doors are cladded.

all running boards do is collect moisture and speed up decay...
