    Has anyone come across a build thread of someone that installed OEM Tacoma Flares without having the square holes already on the bed and fenders? Planning on doing it and just wanted to get some stuff figured out while my flares are getting painted to match......would be awesome if I could replace the clips with circular clips and just drill holes instead of the original square holes.....thank you 61b5552b3a2d5c509754325224a85779_674cea5bcbd0d30c3d76e15b1b07c2023baf4085.jpg

    Your best bet on this one might be to throw up an advertisement for a straight swap of fenders and bed sides with someone who has them, and wants to be rid of them - i've noticed several of the 4x4 guys have said they wanted the svelte look of smooth fender and bedsides without them.
