He narrowed his rear end not the fenders....What's all involved in flaring the rear fender's and can it be done without having to repaint?

will never understand why people put the front plate in the windshield if you dont want it on the bumper. It's still NOT legal up on the dash. Glare from the sun on the windshield is still an obstruction of view.

The way I see it, if you put it on the dash, you're acknowledging to the LEO you know you have to have it up front, which is more reason for a ticket than just not having it at all. I didn't have holes in the bumper for a bracket when I got it new, so I just don't have one.

nice truck btw.

not necessarily. but the paint cracked due to stress in my case so you still have to repaint. unfortunately, you'll have to repaint the whole thing if you have an older vehicle because older paint is hard to match.

just for the record the sides of your bed are called fenders.

I really like the two tone. Makes you look and think what is different. Throw some new paint on those calipers.
