Here is my truck next to another with stock fenders. The more I look at these the more I'm glad I got in on this awesome deal!!!

Hey Hole Shot, how's about some more pics? How'd the inner fender liners bolt up? I was also in on the group buy and waiting till I completely thrash the stock fenders to install the glass, but would love to see more pics. Truck looks great BTW!

Thanks the fiberglass and wrap combo presented its own issues. I guess I'm always learning something. As for the pictures it's almost done so I'll post one soon. The fender liners fit well I just drilled a hole just big enough in the new fender and lined it up with the old nutsert. I then drilled on the inside of the fender in line with the nutsert, and used a curved pick to pull the liner to the screw and new hole. Don't try to force the screw sideways or it will crack and damage the fiberglass. You will need to cut and hammer the pinch welds if you want the fender liner to sit flat against the body and look nice at the lower door area. I trimmed mine before I did this and wish I hadn't !!! Oh well learned something else.

More progress

We cut off this inner wheel well attachment point

Our preferred method of attaching bedsides is with rivets. They are clean and low profile, but you need to be 100% confident with your bedsides positioning before these start going in.

It's not completely attached in these pictures. All of the rivets down the bed rail will be covered by the bed rail cap.


What's the price point on the rear fenders.

Got them mocked up and bolted down. Some work was needed on the driver's side, but I didn't touch the passenger side for more than a couple minutes. Very impressed with the fitmant. There's a gap by the headlight that is fixable, just not sure it is worth the time.

The diy installs are all looking great, not sure its worth the extra $ for bodyshop give the price and minimal improvement... I'd just slap em up as is, wrap or diy paint. You can shift the headlights slightly too to fill any headlight voids.
