Ideas on fab fenders flares to cover up my tires?

I got me a fix it ticket from the Washington State Patrol. all i have left to fix is tire exposure on the front. my issue is i can't buy fender flares because my fenders are cut to fit 37s. the edge is flat so im having issues creating a bracket to hold on an improvised flare, any ideas?

Yeah, WA is too freakin anal about rigs up here...ridiculous. Pics might help a little. Just screw the bracket onto the inner fender...unless thats gone too.

Luckly the cops here in Kent haven't busted me for my tires sticking out past the fenders. Even though they only do like 2.5 inches in the front and like an inch in the back, but still.

*knocks on wood*

The picture you uploaded didn't work by the way.

I've seen rednecks use that landscaping stuff for the edge of your lawns/beds.

Basically it's extremely ghetto but just slap it on for the inspection then rip it off.

I'm running 37x12.5 MTRs to, so far no cops have bugged me and I do 200 miles a week on I5 through Trooper trap Nisqually. Hell they didnt even pull me over for no mud flaps the last 3wks. I just got em back on two nights ago. When i had 31's i got bugged by all sorts of cops for tires sticking out, mudflaps, bent bumpers etc... but since my trucks been a real cop magnet (so you would think) no ones bugged me =/ Hope it stays that way!

anyway guys for the non PC smart, heres links to his photos
