Hey folks, I'm wondering what owners who have replaced their factory fender flares have done trimming out the rear fender area (see pics). I was looking to cut it out but wondering what was being used to fill/cover/clean up post cut. Suggestions welcome, TIA.

I used fill and seal expanding foam, water tight. not too much though, I only used enough to fill the gap, sanded and painted when I cut the rear front portion of the seam.

I have the same issue with the rear most corner of the rear pinch seam, also posted in the linked thread a few posts up

I just cut mine, hammered the steel together, put a thin line of paintable silicon along seem to seal it off then rattle canned the whole inner fender area.

A few people have done the fender wells black. Looks really good in my opinion. I cannot recall all the names, but it really seems to make the fender wells kind of disappear. Hopefully some can post up picks. Just an option for you.

That is what I was planning on doing, on the rear of the wheel well

Cutting it so it matches the fender line
Fill it with some auto foam, trim off the excess as needed
Roll on some bed liner or similar over the top to finish it off

I was hoping to see some examples of how some others had one it (pictures if possible). Do you have any pics of your finished work?

I like how the red looks under the fender. I'll go black if I HAVE too, but I like the look

Do you have a lift on your rig? I would think you are really gonna bend those body panels up just riding on paved road.
