    I'm runing spidertrax spacers, so my tires stick out beyond the fenders. I'm also running a 12.5" wide tire. Whether yours stick out depends on your wheels, tire, and spacer setup.

    Yeah, what should we call it? Fender plug mod?


    Thanks

    Nice work. It might be nice to let the 1st gens know that these clips will work as well.

    I wasn't aware that the first gens had the same holes in the fenders. If the holes are the same size there isn't any reason why it wouldn't work. Cool

    I looked at the part description and it will work for 2001 and up. I haven't taken mine off personally, but from looking at other 1st gen photos, they look similar.

    It looks very cool I hate the bushwhackers fake bolts. Yours gives a similar look but much cleaner. Why is the line on the rear fenders so predominant. I can't even see it on the front

    That's why I color matched the plugs. I didn't want them to stand out too bad. They're a lot better than a bunch of gaping holes.

    The rear fender has the shape of the flare molded into it. I have no idea why though.

    Are you replacing the flares, or doing the mod? I originally ordered 40 blue and 20 red clips. That's enough to redo your flares. If you're doing the mod just buy the red ones. You need 50 red ones.
