as for getting rid of the screws...

dunno if anyone has ever done this, but if it were me,... i'd fill out the flares from the inside and maybe trap an arc of winged machine thread nuts inside it... then line it up and bolt the flares on from the inside...

in theory it seems that it can be done, albeit a ton of work, but it would be a clean solution for those that don't want to mold...

my 0.02 and innovation contribution for today lol :)

i was thinking of that and then my friend from the body shop said he could just fill them in and use this crazy adhesive stuff and he guaranteed if it ever came off he would fix it. molding is nice but its crazy expensive requires alot of paint prep time.

personally for me i'd prefer having holes on the inside and bolt tightened flares than adhesive or double stick tape... no matter how clean the tape is, the nut/bolt is still a much more flexible option imo... either way when you remove them there will be bodywork needed to salvage the fender...

i think they have to cut the fenders to fit wide wheels, so after you cut the rear theres pretty much no turning back
