How to cover holes
#1
I just recently took my front and rear flares off, and i was wondering what is the best way to cover up the holes left by the screws?
#2
Cut them out

Take a sharpie and run it down the length of your hood. Next remove Sawzall from it's case and plug in. Then remove excessive sheet metal from the fenders. :lol:

On the back just put some full trail corners on there from companies like Genright etc.....

Maybe you could rough them up a little and make them look like bullet holes? Some people buy all kinds of stickers to make it look like that.
#11

Yeah no kiddin. Took me about an hour with a sharpie, a cut off wheel and a sawzall. Now as far as the turn signals go, you'll need a 4.5" hole saw and a pair of CJ style or JK style turn signals.

If I even remotely cared about how my rig looks anymore I would've done flat fenders or phantom fenders from Sniper Fab for mine. But since I didn't and since my flares were all messed up I just took the saw to it all. :D

The rear of my TJ is comp cut since I have stretched my wheelbase. I wouldn't honestly suggest doing that for a standard wheelbase rig. But some trail corners would look nice and cover up the holes like you are inquiring. I know Rokmen has recently come out with some aluminum trail corners that are supposed to be pretty strong and a lot lighter at the same time. For most armor however I prefer Genright because I know both Robert and Tony and also think their product is as solid as any on the market.
