    Best solution by far is to use black GE silicone. I have done my truck and 2 others and have NEVER had a problem. Right now I am redoing one of mine due to a recent smack. If you need to remove, you can either just peel it back or fishline it.

    I'm thinking of bed lining mine. It bonds really well and I think the texture will look good

    Have at it. I wasn't suggesting that you shouldn't do it. I personally like it smooth. :)

    Yea I was gonna do the clips sanded down and color match but I like the looks of the flares. The rubber washers I saw were too much so I used painted ones

    I rolled my fenders a couple weeks ago and painted my bolts and added washers to my flares. It's an inch or so wider not super noticeable
