this guy used the rubber commercial floor molding and riveted it to the fender. I will do this but add sheet metal to hold the form + extend it inside the wheel well (securing in place w/ short self tapping sheet metal screws), to keep the dirt out from behind the fender.. $50 all in and they look great!

By the way.. RUSTYS flairs discolor in the sun enough that if you replace one it is VERY noticeable!! Plus, they shatter in cold weather!!



good luck
