You can remove the clips from the OEM ones and buy some rubber gasket material to secure them like the aftermarket flares. I guess it's a bit late now though since you already purchased a set!

Like I warn about in all of these....if you want flares, you better like them on for the life of your truck. You'll get body rub within just a few months of them being on. Just light scratch marks. Beyond that, it will only get worse.

Looking forward to those pics. Grey and black are a good combo if you want to de-chrome. That is what I did.

I agree; the grey and black are a nice combo on these trucks

Chris do you have any pics of the fender flares closer up and without a filter? I wanted to see how the flare meets up with the bumper front and back. Also is your grill a barricade or paramount? Do the lights temperature match from the grill to the fender flares?
