    I love it without the flares, just hate the holes under them.

    Saw some peeps on here plugging them. Doesn't look too bad. Any issues of rock chips along the sides of the body now since they are gone?? Guess it might depend how long you've had them off. That's honestly the only reason I'm hesitant about removing them.

    Nope, no problems with rock chips. Had them off for like three years now I think.

    Good to hear! Might be doing it after all. And if i dont like them, I can just put them back on minus the rubber trim molding. Thinking the molding will get damaged in the process.

    I know right? I think I read somewhere on here that he painted the plugs black. Maybe someone else will recognize the truck and chim in.

    Almost looks like they could be bolts, and washers??? Hard to tell. I'm gonna try and find the thread.

    The molding may partially slide off but you can put it back on for the most part. Only thing is you'll probably break most of the clips taking the flares off

    Do you recall what size hardware you used for the holes in the fenders? Are they rubber washers?

    I went to my local hardware store and got whatever fit. The washers are not rubber. I sprayed them all gloss black because they will start to rust. It looks better in person
