    I'm a good bit away from having these ready, so I really can't put a price on them yet. Probably a bit more than you'd pay for the stock clips though.

    I haven't noticed any of mine cracking. I've lost some paint on the clips, but that's to be expected.

    Interesting.. Almost all of my washers seem like they are drying out and cracking. Not sure why.

    I love this idea! Looking to ditch the fenders all together once I finish trimming the sheet metal. One side has no fender and one side still has the fender. Kind of liking the sans fender look more and more.

    @SMKYTXN,

    Have you started mass producing the fender plugs?

    I have not. There are folks that want the plugs, but probably not enough to warrant mass production. I can look into it though.

    What would you be willing to pay for a full set of plugs? That's the real question. :D

    The other issue will be color matching. I could probably get the plugs made, but it would be on the buyer to color match them. Deal breaker?

    Hmmmmm... What was the total cost of supplies? I have no idea how much I would be willing to pay. I'm pretty sure we need to pay for your time, as well.

    About the color matching issue, isn't the black sand pearl a standard color?

    @SMKYTXN your fix for the "fender flare line" on the rear panel was just make a new bed right? hahaha. that's the only spot I still don't like, but I may be doing this plug solution for the holes.
