    Sure did. I actually have put my modified flares back on with the 35's. Trimmed the shit out of them. If you need clips go on ebay and order them. Save some money!

    The part numbers you need are in the hyperlinks on the first page. Stick with all red clips.

    I've only seen the black rubber washers. You could experiment with nylon washers, but they're not perfectly white. See what you can find and report back if you find a solution.

    all finished up finally. the clips i bought were not OEM, but they were OEM quality. i got them off ebay. i did not need bondo because as i sanded mine down, they did not have the two little slits like OP did.

    Looks good. Finding clips that don't have holes in them after sanding really saves a lot of time.

    That sucks. Yea I noticed your fronts don't have any lines, but the rears still do. Thinking of eventually doing this for the rears, maybe with a combination of cutting a little for more clearance. Or maybe even just trimming a lot off, even the mounting holes

    I don't know about everyone else, but I took the fender skirts out and didn't put them back in.

    right there with you on the sway bar, someone helped out with my fender flares today. Walked out of the store today and im guessing that someone decided to try to take mine but got interrupted. drove home and finished pulling them the rest of the way off. After washing 134000 miles worth of dirt that built up behind them. Kinda liking the look now just have a ton of holes in the fenders. want to see those pics of the inner fender with out the liner.

    The blue ones go in with a twist. The red ones just push in till they pop. Maybe your washers are thicker than the ones I used?
