When you put the newer style emblems on do they fit into the existing holes or not? So do you just take ours off and the new ones fit right in with no mods needed?

Do the wheels stick out past the fenders now or no?

they stick out maybe an 1" they are +18 offset wheels.

THanks for everyone's opinion. I may just remove them when it warms up and paint them. I was thinking of line-x on them. Anyone done that?

Not sure that's enough to work well with the larger flares. I've thought about linexing them but when I got a quote from my local liner shop they told me $400 and no warranty since its plastic. Other places might be different. But I didn't feel like risking $400

No flares, just hit them with some krylon fusion satin black.
