these flared fenders have the door opener indents built into the fenders.
i'm trying to figure out the proper way to affix these fenders but i'm just not getting it. i was thinking of just screwing the whole fender over the existing one but something tells me that it isn't even close to how it should be done. LOL the other part of me thinks these fenders are designed to be attached by completely removing the old fenders and installing attachment points, then screwing the fenders into the attachment points. is this right? HELP!!! Attached image(s) |

You could cut the majority of the fender away and leave about a 1 in overlap all the way around. Then carefully flange the down, so that there is a step down from teh steel fender surface. When that is flanged down, try to match the body work very closely to the step. Then glue your flare to the lower part of the step and fill the small gap between the body work and the steel fender. This would look super clean and it would be stronger.
