Default Fender Flare

So I was looking at my truck today and started to think about taking the fender flare off in order to make the tires stand out more. Well I till the left 2 off and there are a abunch of wholes in the body. So my question is has anyone ever removed the flares and bondoed over the holes and painted it? I have a 99 scab 5.4 with the step-side. If you have post pics. Thanks guys

Its possible but i would have it professionally done though. it sucks cause you can't take flares off or emblems off without holes. I would just get 2wd fenders cause they usually are clean. i want to do this with the stupid badges it totally messes up the clean look I'm going for.

Ya good point. I think I'm going to start calling around to see what that would run, I see what your saying about the badges to.

I wouldn't think it would be too hard. Just mask off surrounding areas and I would probably weld up the holes and grind them down and smooth it out with Bondo. Then paint and blend

When I had to buy a used fender for the King Ranch. I bought a 2wd XL fender and it didn't have holes. Best bet is buy 2wd parts I guess
