Fender flare delete

I am currently running 33x11.5 trail graps with a 3inch rough country lift and I usually go off-roading sometimes jump railroad tracks you can call me stupid if you want but I noticed the fenderflares are held on by chickenshit clips , yes I have cracked the ones on the front . Has anyone thought about taking off all fender flares and filling the squares with spike bolts ?? Like the big spikes you see on sema trucks . Give me your honest opinion

 

It depends on what you drive around on. If I was to get rid of mine rocks would destroy my paint. Personally I wouldn't do the spikes. I would body putty the holes and repaint if your hellbent on doing it

 

I wish i had flares, tires stick an inch or two out and wow does my tread throw rocks and mud.

 

If you don't mind tons of shit hitting your paint or flying in your windows (think rocks, debris) then go for it - personal opinion though, I'd leave the redneck spike bolts to the SEMA vehicles (plus you'll regret it the first time you go to lean under the hood and forget and end up bleeding).
