    I think I'm gonna go with the bushwackers unless someone really talks me outta it. Someone should make some sick LED's to go in that space. I might consider that option. Did you look at the price of Fender flares msrp from the dealer? Thats the things that would make me reconsider my stance on hating on the little empty squares.

    They stay on fine, if I could go back I’d cut the fenders put leave tabs that I could bend inward to make a fender liner. Then it would be even stronger

    Yes I would do that and make my own liners because cleaning mud out of the fenders and bed sucks

    I bought a replacement set of clips that are used to mount the fenders. Trimmed off the top piece that the fender clips to then sanded them smooth and painted them to match.
