Dude, safety precautions & requirements like mud flaps, flares - and insurance - are there to help reduce the likelihood & extent of damage & injury ... NOT to 100% eliminate them.

This is grownup thinking ... try & keep up .

After getting them to the shape I want them at I'm going to scuff them up evenly and then shoot them with some paint.









As you can see here I cut them at a angle in to the body and then heated and bent the tuing in to the body of the jeep. I didn't like how it looked the way it went inwards with the body line.

I'm glad I found this thread after I went and bought this stuff to do mine I was thinking I was the only one crazy enough to try to make flares out of something like this until I found this thread lol Cheap, looks good and get to keep $300+ in the pocket can't go wrong there that's for sure.

All of it is rivited on the same way on the inside of the fender and then just cut out the angle on the plastic then used the heat gun to soften the tube part of the plastic so I was able to bend and mold it inwards to the angle I cut.
