    New fender flares and step bars

    I put some new step bars and fender flares on my truck, I think it looks pretty good. image.jpg

    I'm not positive Eduardo, but some use double-backed adhesive tape as well as screws. The tape goes on the painted surface, but you drill the screw holes inside the lip of the fender well, so they don't really show if you take the flares off at a later point. I'm sure some brands mount different ways, but I believe that's the norm.

    BTW, looks good Trav, but can't see the steps! (Bein' a Jr. Noticer an' all ... I see you need to take some picture-takin' lessons from Ticboy)

    I like the bars and wish I had them on my truck instead of the running boards. I'm just too cheap to replace something that's perfectly functional based on looks alone.

    If you can't see them, it might be time for a new pair of cheaters, old man...
