cut and fold the ridge where the stock flare went, hold the new "flare" in place, drill holes through it and the area you just folded over, rivet them in place.

First your going to want to trim. then some simple L-brakets to hold them on would work great.

this would work best, and it would give you more tire clearance!

Just curious why you hadn't made the flare a little more wider to provide better coverage for your tires, otherwise it's a nice design.
