Pic of mine. I folded the fender under, cut off the hook end of the edging and used it as trim around the folds (gives a finished look) and riveted them both to the folds. Used a heat gun to warm and shape the plastic to the contour of fender. Cant get it too hot or it will melt the plastic.

Looks like Bushwhacker flat flares. That is the cleanest and best looking lawn-edge flares I have seen. Great job!

X3 on this. You have definitely sparked my interest as well. For once it doesn't look super trashy. Very clean setup man.
