Default Rubber edge trim after fender trimming?

So I just cut my front fenders today and I'm wondering what people have used to cover the sharp edge they just made and to clean it up a little bit. I went to Home Depot and Menards and I did not find anything that would work other than splitting some rubber hose and I'm not satisfied with that idea. All I can think of using is that ghetto chrome door edging and painting it black? Please post pics of "clean" trimmed fenders without flares and what you used.


chrome trim from flebay

Get some pipe wrap, it's self adhesive and looks pretty good, home depo sells it. It's called armaflex get it in polyethylene, or rubber not foam. I'll try to find a pic of a rig with it. I used it for a short time till I got my bw flares

I used the ghetto door edge trim but I found it in black at auto zone. Here's a pic. If you can even see it.

The green one above the lovely sienna pearl xj is the trim I'm thinking about. Seeing sanchezcruz_20 is my inspiration to begin with, I think I'm color biased though

Never mind I need to read better. I'm pretty sure jeepxj19 stated it earlier above. Have to see if I can find it at HD

Default keeping them on?

I wanted to do the same thing with my fenders, so I have the thin door edge trim, like in one of these pictures, but my fronts keep falling off due to either engine heat, vibration, or both. How are you guys getting them to stay on??????
