go to a paintless dent place and get some of the little plastic caps that they put in holes in door jambs and stuff and paint them and stick them in the holes, alot cheaper and easier than bondo and paint and reversable for if you sell.

The best way would be to weld the holes shut, especially if you are going to herculine them anyways, do it right.

How much would you want for the flares? They look like theyare the imperial Mica Jade color..am I right? Also, does anyone know if there are any differances between the 97' fenders to the 2000? It should fit right?

Might be easier for you guys to just swap doors.

I don't really like my flares, either. Might take them off and paint them black or color match. But I'm not going to take them off--I might get mistaken for a lowly SR5. J/k

I guess someone is starting a trend to ditch flare, huh?

I would leave the flares alone, because of all those holes, causing expensive repair. Repairing those holes required to repaint about 90% of your rig.
