Ok here is another way to install front fenders if you dont care about you stock ones. It deff. save a lot of time and you only have to remove 3 bolts on each side and the only tools needed are a grinder, sawzall, drill, and basic hand tools.
1- remove the grill and unbolt the bolt by the grill, the bolt on the underside of the fender by the door, and the lower bolt in the door jam.
2- drill out the spot weld on the top of the fender and by the headlight.
3- cut along the inner fender in the wheel well where the 6 bolts are.
4-now its time to cut up your old fender.
5-Now your fender should be ready to come out and this is what you end up with
6-Now cut your inner fender so the rest of the fender will come out with it and drill out the two spot weld where the hood mount bracket is (drill from the inner fender side into the fender)
7- Now you are ready to mount your fenders but if any thing is still in your way cut it out there is plenty of other spots to fasten the fenders to. Take your time the allignment sucks but if you bend some spot of the inner fender and smash other spots in it can turn out pretty nice. Also dont be affraid to use a descent size drillbit for the spot welds because then you can just pop the fender off and not have to worry about breaking the rest of it with a screw driver and hammer and damaging the inner fender. I used rivets for my fenders which made it a lot easier but sheet metal screws will work just as good

I can find anyone who makes these fenders. Are they cut? They’re the pre-runner flares right? Please tell me who makes them!
