    Awesome, if you have it just let me know, I don't mind buying it off you or at least paying for mail/shipping cost.

    The assembly I am looking for looks like this mounting piece in the top right:

    Don't worry about it if you can't find it, I can use a switch blank no problem.

    Funny, I ran across that piece yesterday morning while I was cleaning out my toolbox. It's all yours. PM incoming.

    la0d0g, what did you use to trim the flares and actual fender? I'm looking to do this but not sure what tools worked for you?

    I used a dremel for all of the flare work. For the fenders themselves I used the dremel but also used a body saw for the hard to get to places like down by the body mount.

    la0d0g, what did you use to finish off the cuts? did you just sand? I've seen dudes using door sill trim to put on the cut to seal it up.

    I used the door trim stuff too on both the fenders and flares. I think it finishes it off nicely. I did need to redo them once. When it got cold out the trim pulled away from the corners so when I redid them I used a bit of superglue in the turns and worked my way out from there. Haven't had an issue since.

    Killed my battery last night while dicking with lights. I knew it was almost time to get a new one so add that to the list... Going with a Die Hard Platinum.
