So if we have to drill out the mounting holes, would that be the same for the antenna hole?

I know you and @RaptorWifey want in on this deal. You're in NC with myself and @Hole Shot so we can possibly bundle shipping and save more $$$

Yes, you will need to drill out the mounting holes. There are small indentations in the fenders where the mounting holes are, you should also use your stock fender for reference.

There are not any holes for the antenna. The area where the antennae sits is slightly recessed in the oem fender. Rather than replicating it, we kept it smooth. If you would like to keep your antennae set up like stock, I would recommend using the stock fender as a template, and die grinder to cut the hole. On a lot of our fender installs, we will just zip tie the antennae in the wheel well so it's hidden and out of the way.

Nvm? I didn't have you on the list

I wrote something pertaining to the fender liners but then I realized my idea was faulty. The mounting points on the fender liner, I believe, are attached to the fender so if you replace the fender then the mounting points will adjust accordingly bringing the fender liner 1" up. The 2.5" width increase is compensated via the larger lip around the flare.

Never thought about that, will have to try this... Can't get worse reception than my stubby.

Would that work? The factory antenna base sits down in a recessed part of the fender. Not sure if that was for some odd cosmetic reason or it was done for a specific purpose.

It's definitely going to take a some work to make it sit nice and perfect. Here's what a fender looks like without the antennae. Zip tying it to the inner fender works really well, and doesn't have a huge affect on reception like a stubby does.

I'm also in the nc group count me in for group shipping if its more cost effective.

We can only ship one pair of fenders at a time through Fed Ex. If you guys would like to coordinate with each other on combined shipping, we can definitely do that. We could do up to 5 sets in a single crate. It would definitely help out on the price, but the shipment would also need to go to a commercial address.
