    HEY YALL.
    If you remove your mud guards/flappy bits because you’re tryna fit bigger tires or just don’t like the way they look, you can use these panel pins to plug the holes nice and tidy. I stood in Oreilly’s for about 17 minutes trying to find something and I got ‘em. You need 3 per wheel. x 4 =12. They come in packs of 6. Fancy that. Buy two packs. 1CB9EA9C-1926-45A3-ABE5-F511B1AE9AC6.jpg542B13BD-EB0C-4C86-9A2B-A3EC20B4CD1D.jpg5E10A2B8-1986-48C0-A16A-8645786CB3FD.jpg6804466D-269A-4235-8CB5-59FA80325881.jpg

    Electrical tape works too and is much cheaper, and everyone probably has it laying around

    But my way looks so professional. Intentional. I like that feeling when it just pops right in, y’know?

    Not sure people look at the inside of a wheel well often

    That is a little bit of a different finish quality vs a clean solution like the OP proposed. Might as well just use duct tape. Personally I wouldn't remove the flaps because I like the paint on the side of my truck.

    Call me nutty then. I suppose it’s more for myself than anyone peeking at my dirty wheel wells. Electrical tape works for plenty of things. :boink:

    Mine is an 05. I can’t afford to like my paint. Fair point though. I just hate how they scrape everything and fade easily.

    Agreed that "bzzzt" is so tactile-y pleasuring.
