Folks ,I have a question for you .
On fender flares we have either steel or fiberglass items . They should be attached permanently by welding or glueing/fiberglassing them on . Or they can be attached by being removeable by using screws/dzus fasteners . What is your opinion of being permanent vs. removeable ? Also if one uses the removeable process , how do you attach them , screws or dzus fasteners ? Does anyone hqve any photos of the screw/dzus method of attachment ? Thanks to your input on this .

On my silver car I molded the fiberglass flares in. I shaped them and brought them in from the back. then filled (left a very thin layer of bondo on steel) and added a thin layer of fiberglass between the flares and the stock steel. I sold the car quite a few years ago, and I don't think the glass every cracked.
