how was the install on them? i have factory installed fender flares and on the ebay ad they say they are not compatible with trucks that have factory installed fender flares......I cant imagine it would make a difference since the fenders are the same other than having holes but I was wondering if I could just drill the aftermarket flares to bolt up to the fenders..
any chance I can get some pictures of the flares and how they are mounted so I can see if I could use them?

Thanks again everyone for the comments!
Thanks rickyp....that looks good. Will have to look for those!
The wheels have -11mm backspacing. They rubbed pretty good on the inside fender so had to do a lot of trimming.
I can't imagine these not fitting if you have the stock fenders and removed them. Install is easy. The only negative thing was that I thought the rubber trim was a bit cheap so I replaced it with heavier, better quality trim to seal the flares against the body. The instructions say to use the glue strip and clips to mount (so you don't have to drill holes) but I drilled holes in mine anyway so that the flares are really tight and flush with the fender. I don't have any time to take photos this week but will try on the weekend.
