Default fender flares

Just got a set of fender flares. The fronts mounted up just fine but the rears are giving me trouble. The holes aren't in the fender flare for where the factory bolts would be and my truck didn't have the bolts just those stupid plastic clips. Anybody ever encounter this problem?

Contact the manufacturer of the flares; talk to their support team. Most "quality" manufacturers have an 800 number you can call, and talk to a support team member.

Sounds like you need to drill a few holes and buy some nuts and bolts...

You have pics? Someone here is selling some off a 2013 FX4 and was curious if they would fit my 2005 supercrew.

Well went out there last night to look at them last night and I just decided I'm going to drill new holes in the flares. I got them all marked and am going to do the drilling sometime over the weekend whenever I get the chance but the flares kinda took a back seat until this I'm done running my plow with the snow coming in.
