Fender flare install with plastic anchors

Recommended Posts

Just a thought, has this been done before? I'm about to do flares on my car and some of my searching led to some jeep websites. They use plastic anchors for their flares. Some guy said the the metal of the rivet can cause premature rusting in the area they are installed in. Im not sure how true that is but what do you guys think?

Some guy is a moron.

LOL yup.

 

If any premature rusting is occuring it is because the flares were installed without painting or sealing the drilled mounting holes. You can't just drill/cut painted steel body panels and leave bare metal, it will rust.
