So i want to put on fender flares for my 88 p/u. My tires are 35x12x5's, and stick out 4" from the fender...

What i was wondering, is the bottom's of my front fenders are rotted, and the p/o filled it in with bondo..will it be okay to put the fender flares on if theres bondo on there? and if i were to trim the fenders up about 2inches or so, will toyota specific fender flares still be applicable? Is anybody running fender flares with trimmed fenders?

and ummm. how do you put them on? screws?

you could use self tappers are you going to buy exspensive ones or just make some and i would trim them regardless i hate bondo

i want a decent set, but i dont want to overpay. I have contemplated making my own, but i LOVE the "rivit" look. I do want to get them from a quality place, like bushwacker or warn etc.

So your saying just put them on overtop of the bondo?

wait!! no!! your saying trim them? i do want to trim them....

i'm just afraid once i trim them i wont be able to find fender flares that will work, and then i'll end up buyig new fenders anyway

well get the fender flares first put them up to the fender see if they will look fine with the bondo if they do just roll with it

the bondo's pretty much good, if itsnost i'll knock it out and do it the right way...

i'm just worried the bondo will fall out from the extra "weight"

I installed a set of Bush Wackers that i got used for 75$. You could probably find a similar deal so keep looking. I think you'll be fine installing whatever on the bondo, if not then new fenders might be the way to go. On and i just used self taping screws and some sealant when I did mine. Tool less than an hour to install all four.
