    Hey guys I'm new to the site... I'm picking up some OEM fender flares today and the guy doesn't have the hardware anymore for them. Can someone let me know what I need and where's the best place to get them at... Thank you

    I'm in the same boat, but I'm going aftermarket. I think the OEM look the best, but I'm pretty sure the holes are rectangles not circles.

    I'm pretty sure they're round and aftermarket uses the same holes as OEM

    Couldn't find a pic of a 3rd gen, but I think it's the same. Also, Aftermarket don't bolt to the outer fender, they bolt to the inner side so that they can be removed and not leave holes.

    all tore up already
    He must have swapped from painted to non painted or vice versa. But only oem flares attach that way and making these holes would be more difficult than buying new fenders which i think youd end up doing anyway if you were that determined to attach them the same was as from factory
