Just updating because I couldn't find anyone else posting about this. I wanted to use my factory inner front fender liners with the KBD Fenders and it came out pretty clean. A box cutter and about 30 mins per side got it done.

Really happy with how clean it came out. Gotta see how it holds up but I'll update whenever I get a chance to get the truck dirty again.

I’m curious as to how well those fender lights work. I really like the stock led fender lights because of how bright they are.

The blinkers are super bright, caught me off guard honestly.

Box cutter with a brand new blade

Cut the main large part off first then trim as needed. Also, you don't need huge relief cuts like I have. That plastic is pretty maleable and not bad at all to work with.

I did, i added a couple black self tapping screws. I put one on that big flap piece by the bottom and added 1 toward the front bumper.

They are extremely sturdy, drove 6 hrs the other weekend and not a single issue. Loving these flares so far, I don't understand anyone spending $1k on fenders/flares.

Great!! Were you able to reuse hardware or did you use zip ties to attach?
Thanks for all the help!

I cut the liner long enough to sandwich between the KBD Fenders so I just ran the screws that came with them.

Mini zip ties could work too tho.

I got all 4 on right after I posted the last time. I abuse these things regularly and they have been fantastic.

I had a very odd issue with the led blinkers, called customer service. I was 2 months out of warranty and the dude sent them free of charge with 2 day shipping anyway 😆.


I will give this company my business as much as possible.

Cant wait. Went ahead and bought a set of Attica 4x4 Frontier Series Inner Fenders Front & Rear from Recon Recovery. I doubt my plastic cutting skills!
