I am at the point where I have to install my fiberglass flares. Does ANYONE have any real life experience doing this? How difficult is it? The flares fit pretty well, what I am wondering about is the bottom of the flare where the rocker pannel will attach. Would I cut off the bottom of the flare or the part of the metal that is in the way of the flare? Also, where the edge of the flare meets the body there is a gap of up to 1/4' in some spots. Will this go away some what when I cut down the fender? If not, what should I do? I have read all the tech articles and they do not answer any of my questions. I am half decent at body work, but once I start this there is no turning back. I do not want to go to a body shop as they would charge an arm and a leg (how would I drive?) IF they would even look at all. Thanks everyone, Dave
