The flares already have holes drilled in them. I wont be using any "tabs" that mount into the side of the fenders.

$70??!! nice comeup man!! make sure to post pics when ur done. just alittle add on.... napa has a wide variety of factory style plastic fasteners, on my lariat, i noticed the "christmas tree style"(like those you posted) fasteners that held the flares on that just push in, tend to work alittle loose overtime, which one started to vibrate slightly and was very annoying haha, i bought some that were identical to the ones that hold the plastic cover down underneath the hood the fastens to the cowl and radiator shroud. they were cheap and holds the flares on very snug. these....
Cool I will look at those fasteners. I got the flares off ebay, guy had 5 sets for $70 shipped each set. Since I bought the first set I sent him a message asking to get 4 of the best flares and he did! They are all like new.
